This is my blog. I live in Portland, Oregon, where crows and roses abound, so that's what I'm calling the blog for now. I may change my mind.
The plan is to write about books I read, places I go, things I make, and perhaps the occasional cathartic rant. I hope you'll join me in thoughtful conversation and contemplation on literary whatnot.
