On this dark snowy Sunday night, what a delight to sit with the sweet people of the Syracuse James Joyce Society as they performed a dramatized reading of Joyce's short story "The Dead." Then we all sang "The Auld Triangle." They we drove home through a blizzard.

Been reading poetry submissions for the Seneca Review & I just wanted to say that there are some serious magicians/musicians of language out there. Thank you to everyone who submitted this last round! Our submissions closed Oct 31, but they re-open Feb 1st, so keep that in mind!
