Love the stream of consciousness narrativising. Works super well, and I hope you'll try it again. The essay's got this sense of forward movement through the day that also, in an opposite way, brings me to stillness when you seat us in that kayak. Made the essay stick and made me come back to it a second time. Well done, Dean Dass.

Excellent. Good to learn so much more about you. I live in Albuquerque, have lived here most my life, so sad to find out that your auto accident was here. But glad it was life-changing.

Dean, wow. I’m from queens, WOP10, also on bonus time. Greenwood is on my list for the garden. So many beautiful and jarring parts to this story. I loved the visuals you made out of sentence length. I’m sure you know this but the slides were a thing of beauty. Thank you for what you’ve endured physically to create such beauty.

Have you finished Mrs. Dalloway yet? I remember during one of the cohorts, you mentioned you were still rereading the first ten pages?
