I made a start on this essay anthology while Rocco asked if I could pleasepleaseplease feed him early and also snuggle him. (Snuggles happened. Early breakfast did not.) The introduction was too dense and academic for me to really click with it, but Eden Robinson‘s piece was great. I‘m hoping for more like that and less of the “lemme show off how opaque and fancy I can be” stuff so many litfic writers trot out when they pen essays.
