I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Boy, wooo! Exciting! Reading that, I feel like the elections are tomorrow! I am sure that will win lots of votes. :-)
Meanwhile, your "The Uncanny Story" in Emanations: 2 + 2 = 5 is prompting some positive back-channel chatter. Dario Rivarossa, and others, are quite keen on it, both as a story and as a model for prose writing. Please, tell us more about your vision and the "theories" you exercise in this new work... Could you post some of the illustrations, as well, and talk about them. You worked with Troy Frantz, in fact, as he put the illustrator together...
It all depends on whether or not people like a lot of hot air . . .

Jeffery: I am a Texas author who has written several books and I am now working on a book of poetry. I am intrigued with your yellow trumpet in this blog and was wondering if I could use it in my book. Of course, I will give you the credit for it. Please let me know.

I have no objection. If you're just interested in the image, it's not mine anyway. You might also be interested in this: Poetry Break: Twittering Away the Time . . .
