M poached tofu steaks in homemade broth, breaded them, and pan-fried them, then M put the broth with pumpkin and turned it into a soup, and M made horseradish Vegenaise dip. Thank you, M. Things get better: class prep today = watching Beckett's Endgame. Did I mention how much my students liked Beckett's Texts for Nothing? Last Thursday's class discussion was invigorating. Wrote three new poems on the desk calendar (in the spirit of Niedecker's "Next Year or I Fly My Rounds, Tempestuous"), too. I need to make a decision not to leave the house on Saturday every Saturday maybe. Until next Saturday, when I must leave the house for what's sure to be a night of amazing readings first by Kyle Schlesinger and Steven Salmoni for POG, then for The Destroyer release party.
