Leaving Ellsworth | Nausicaa Renner When Joseph was two months old, we packed up our Maine apartment to drive back to Maryland, to a house we had barely lived in. Joseph’s age became a proxy for how long my mother had been dead.

today is 4 years since my mom died. my son was born 15 days later. for me it was a realization that sometimes Real Things Do Happen like a death or a birth or often both in close proximity

CHAPTER XXI. It is a common sentence that Knowledge is power; but who hath duly considered or set forth the power of Ignorance? Knowledge slowly builds up what Ignorance in an hour pulls down. Knowledge, through patient and frugal centuries, enlarges discovery and makes record of it; Ignorance, wanting its day’s dinner, lights a fire with the record, and gives flavour to its one roast with the burnt souls of many generations.

George Eliot’s epigraph for Chapter 21 of Daniel Deronda goes hard at the brute force of Ignorance. Just thinking of it these days.

you need some schemes bro. bro it’s time to start plotting. you need some machinations. some mackies bro

Normotic Moms — Parapraxis Dispatch from the group chat Nausicaa Renner

For @Parapraxis_Mag I wrote about abnormally normal mom culture and why it freaketh me out www.parapraxismagazine.com/articles/nor...

I went down to southern Illinois to Edgar Lee Masters' house with Fred to research his production of Spoon River. We lit incense in the cemetery to get rid of the bugs. I think I still have the charcoal impressions my mom made of the gravestones that eventually became the set. Love you Fred.

Can you keep me posted on if you hear about a memorial service

I worked with Fred on several occasions. He was a singular and monumental presence in a Chicago theatre scene that often felt exploitive and inhuman. Fred was the opposite of that. He always wanted what was real and what was honest. He will be sorely missed.

oh my god. i just moved back a few months ago and was really looking forward to having a long conversation with him. i'm so sad to hear this.
