		<description><![CDATA[I find that the Wylie &#8220;Dummies&#8221; books are hit-or-miss; it really depends on the rigor and experience of the individual author and, to a lesser extent, the abstraction of the topic.  Consistent strong points are a layman&#8217;s approach to any subject; you really are getting an introduction that doesn&#8217;t require a strong background or special [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had the opportunity this past week to go to Chicago for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) Conference, although I can&#8217;t claim I went entirely on the up-and-up.  About a month ago, I found out about the panel Midwest Gothic: Dark Fiction of the Heartland.  I&#8217;ve been describing my work as Midwestern Gothic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Penguin&#8217;s annotated edition of Count Magnus and Other Ghost Stories, representing approximately half the entries of the more comprehensive Collected Ghost Stories, is a fitting introduction to one of the most famous British ghost storytellers.  This comes as a bit of a shock when reading the actual stories, however, for their perspective and narrative [...]]]></description>

In a more typical year, I would have long since noticed that it was cold, and the weather would not be changing much&#8230; at least not until I was surprised by a January thaw [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Benjamin Franklin&#8217;s 306th birthday was yesterday, January 17th. I&#8217;m not an expert on the subject, but, as Walter Isaacson&#8217;s essay &#8220;What Would Ben Do?&#8221; notes, &#8220;[Franklin] has been vilified in romantic periods.&#8221; The question is how do we separate the spirit and content of romanticism from the momentary tropes of the/any &#8220;romantic period.&#8221; It its [...]]]></description>

This is the first week where temperatures have really dipped into the teens&#8230; so [...]]]></description>
