Thanks for mentioning a.) Dennis Covington and b.) the bit I wrote up about him. He was instrumental in my own formation as a writer, on a few levels. And thanks, as well, for such consistently comprehensive posts.
Thank you for the link to the Cairns interview. The quotes about the Orthodox church you included drew me in; he captured so succinctly what has drawn me away from American evangelical Protestantism and toward the Orthodox church.
Thank you for the mention, Andrew—I’m glad you liked the post. Thanks, too, for all the other great links. They’ll keep me busy for a week!
Thanks Andrew for mentioning my piece on Carol Atherton's book - all English teachers will love it.
This ETW appeared in my inbox 30 minutes after I heard about the death of the great Helen Vendler.
My pleasure Julian! And thank you for sharing the news about Helen Vendler--I wasn't aware.

Wonderful curation this week. Lots to follow up on. And the Knippers art--wow! Thank you for introducing me to his work.
