I am hesitant to draw significant conclusions about the work itself based on the transliteration, but I’ll draw a few for the purposes of this review. Most significant: why was Seigfried murdered?
The Knight in the Panther’s Skin Review
These must be some of the most emotional, nay, emotive knights. To an even greater extent than Arthurian champions, the knights in The Knight in the Panther’s Skin are deeply and vocally emotional.
Star Maker Review
Despite its brevity, this is not a book you should plan to whip through – it’s one of those you really must sit with and contemplate, both while actively reading and afterwards, if you want to appreciate it properly.

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to give a short speech at a large event. Maybe it could have been more distinctive if I’d had this thought before the speech, instead of about two hours later: I should have treated the speech like poetry.
An Oblique Approach to Reality
Thinking of poetry as an oblique approach to reality reframes my understanding of poems and helps explain why I’ve always struggled with writing original poems, but it doesn’t mean I can suddenly write poetry.
The Faerie Queen Review
I almost gave up after finishing the first book, but there were enough elements that intrigued me to continue into the second, and I’m sometimes a little stubborn, so I pushed on. I’m glad I persevered.

If the first step of the technical writing process is word choice, then this post is about the second step, putting those words together into phrases.
Canterbury Tales Review
More even than other historical works, it is a true portal to the past, replete with everything that implies for the historian, the author, the worldbuilder, and the simply curious.
Paradise Lost Review
Paradise Lost honestly read at points more like genre fiction than like a piece of classic religious literature, and I do not in any way mean that to be construed as an insult.
Patterns and Poetry in Prose
With poetry remaining, for now, something of a mystery, I've turned my attention towards instead applying certain poetically derived techniques to my prose.
