Commonly Referenced

It bugs me when peo­ple ref­er­ence uncom­mon books, authors, or other mate­ri­als as though they’re com­monly known. So here’s a list of ref­er­ences you’ll see pretty reg­u­larly about the blog. Each title links to the entries which ref­er­ence it. I try to keep it updated, but if I missed some­thing, please tell me!

What's all this, then?

I’m writ­ing a book to under­stand my hometown’s dis­in­ter­est in its own his­tory, and my role in that. It’s sort of become a novel. This is the full story.

This is my play­ground. It reflects and pre­dicts what’s hap­pen­ing in the book.

Things I dis­cuss: East­ern Mass. his­tory, sto­ry­telling, book­mak­ing, time travel, poetry & nov­els, writ­ing craft, dreams, pub­lish­ing, indige­nous per­spec­tives, spir­i­tu­al­ity, sex, adop­tion and par­ent­ing, research, and what­ever I can’t get outta my head.
