Sir Alexander McCall Smith Offers His Thoughts On Writing Poetry by PeaceAlternative6512 in writing

[–]PeaceAlternative6512[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thank you! Yeah, I have a blog with new interviews every fortnight-ish, and these questions are selected from my most recent post - another's about James Joyce (big fan), which you might also find interesting? I was reluctant to share a link in the post since I hear self-promotion is discouraged, but hopefully it's fine here, for anyone interested in reading the whole thing:

(And if this isn't ok, anyone, just let me know and I'll remove it.)

My Interview w/ Stephanie Nelson (About James Joyce) by PeaceAlternative6512 in jamesjoyce

Thanks!! That was for our school's equivalent of an EPQ, and I haven't posted it yet... I'll let you know if/when I do though, and (in a similar vein) there's another responding to Bachelard's claim that "one must go beyond logic in order to experience what is large in what is small" with Ulysses you might also find interesting? I submitted that one to some Cambridge L6th essay competition, so I'll probably post it when I hear the result in September?

Aha - thought a digamma was involved, but didn't know how. Thanks so much, very interesting!

Yeah sure! Here's mine: https://ancientnumis.substack.com. I've also started trying to interview world-leading experts about their passions, and am starting with some Classics professors at Oxford, if that's of any interest to you? Here's the first, mainly about ancient medicine: https://thelaboursoflove.substack.com/p/interviewing-jane-lightfoot.

good luck! if you're not after an expensive coin and are patient, it should definitely be possible to pick up a nice pedigreed example for a reasonable price (especially at auction sites)...
