My father, as it happens, was a college professor who taught Shakespeare (whom I was trained by schooling to hate), loved James Joyce more for his math than any human connection he may have asserted, and wrote self-published poetry that never really got off the ground. My mother was, in fact, a novelist and writer of other articles.<br /><br />Both, in their own ways and for different reasons, worshiped in the religion of the intellect. It took me quite some time to catch up with Swami Vivekananda's observation that "the mind [he meant intellect] is a good servant and a poor master."genkakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135705172119950326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-49681446727191374532013-12-06T14:48:52.279-05:002013-12-06T14:48:52.279-05:00I like to read about your mother, for I am interes...I like to read about your mother, for I am interested in your writerly pedigree. It seems to me that you were twice blessed, with a novelist for a mother and a poet for a father.

Unusual for someone of the age you appear to be in your photograph.<br />Two things. Your mother and the catholic church.<br />I wonder if perhaps these two preoccupations have some kind of common origin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
