Mission Statement (of sorts)

The idea behind this blog is to integrate some interests of mine, namely poetry reading and writing, theatre, other arts, and teaching. I'm interested in how writers and artists can draw on their communities (local and global) to make their work more cosmopolitan on a variety of levels. I'll also be looking at ways that artists who have been associated with large institutions for most of their careers (i.e. universities) can turn back to their communities for work, inspiration, and interdisciplinary projects, even if they continue to be associated with those institutions.

Expect links to interesting articles and projects, and some of my own ideas.
