January 15, 2021

Opened the day with seven rejection notices in email. 

Discovered that I had written, or mostly written, a verse play based on the same material as The Falls of the Wyona. Fingering through my own files is like exploring the shelves of a library. 

I remember when I got my carrel at Johns Hopkins how smitten I was with the stacks and stacks of books all around. Forty feet of Wordsworth hovered just above my head.
