He's leaving

Not my cat. My cat's not going anywhere. He's stuck to me like cat glue. He's next to the laptop (practically on top of it) watching my fingers.

But Matthew Stadler's got stuff to say here about leaving Clear Cut to write. Among his comments (my favorite!), this one about my book: "newcomer Danielle Dutton's groundbreaking S P R A W L, a prose poem that jams Lisa Robertson's intelligence and music into a Jane Austen-ish scrutiny of the manner of being in those new landscapes we continue to call 'suburbs.'" Merci.

Speaking of S P R A W L, it looks like it'll be out next year, late-Winter.

Lisa Robertson + Jane Austen = very nice indeed!

I am trying to become an expert in Lisa Robertson. As I was reading, XEcologue, I thought of Attempts at a Life, actually. I think what both of you do really well is think of a literary female space. And neither you nor Robertson purports that it is a woman-ruled utopic space.

It's an idea I want to develop, but Attempts is at the forefront of this thinking.
