Reading Recs

  • Carol Keeley’s essay “The Culture of Fire.” Carol is a friend and wonderful writer/person. She also has a story (“Cremains”) in the current issue of Ploughshares. The issue was guest edited by Elizabeth Strout, and features some big names: Joyce Carol Oates, Richard Bausch, Mary Gordon and Amy Hempel. Congratulations, Carol!
  • Steve Almond’s essay about Chuck Prophet. This is an excerpt from Almond’s recently released book Rock and Roll Will Save Your Life. It’s good to see Mr. Prophet get some love. I saw him perform many, many times when I lived in San Francisco. Besides his indisputable musical skills, he’s also a master of handling hecklers.
