Dec.27.2012 The Anxiety of Proofreading I'm overeating and making deals with myself ("Just another twenty minutes, and we'll take a break!") Proofreading the new poetry manuscript creates for me a terrible anxiety. It's not just about getting it right, making sure the grammar and mechanics are in...	Jul.20.2012 Cecile Pineda's FACE and Identity Cecile Pineda's existentialist novel Face (Wings Press) presents the opportunity to discuss human identity in both the natural and societal context. After I finished reading Face, a quote from T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alred Prurock" came to mind: "I prepare a face to meet...
Sep.14.2011 What Is Your Understanding of the Basics of Existentialism? From my scattered and eclectic reading of existentialist texts over the years, the following basic beliefs stand out for me.

Ask three different people if a certain writer is "noir,...
Feb.05.2010 If Kafka was a Woman If Franz Kafka was a woman the absurdities of life and the meaning he found in them would all be in another’s day work. Rather than challenging the insanity of life and overlaying a dark and dogmatic interpretation, we women naturally thread the needle and baste the various insanities of life...	Feb.03.2010 Franz's Day Dear Diary, I finished another masterpiece today. It gets so tiresome! I wish I had writer's block. My agent called and said that two Austrian publishers are begging for more stories. Well, they will just have to wait. I have three dates with three beauties I met at my book signing last week. I can...
