Outsourcing the voices in my head. "The consolation of the specific."
Avoiding my natural state of impetuousness.
Working around, over and through it to the best of my ability.

My favorite will be the future masterpiece of Miss Brooke Harries.
For now: The Magus, The Corrections, Norwegian Wood, American Pastoral, Vox, The Road, Sleeping In Flame, In the Lake of the Woods, The Sound and the Fury, Lolita, The Odd Sea, House of Leaves, The Feast of Love, You Must Be This Happy to Enter.
In the middle of Swann's Way which is alternately tedious and mindblowing.
Also poetry by Pinsky, Gluck, Young, Hoagland, Laux, Yeats, Plath, Sexton, Wakoski, Hillman, Rich, Olds, and many others which, for now, elude me.
Okay, here's one more: Cate Marvin.
And another! Andrew Zawacki!
