Shutting Down

Hosting a website for the past decade or so has been a grand experiment—and mostly a pleasurable one. However, if my writing “career” has taught me anything, it’s that change is inevitable. Publishers close their doors, editors move on and, saddest of all, fellow writers, on whom I’ve depended for their friendship and critical acumen, pass from this world.

So the fact that I’m shut

Quotes by Ed Davis (?)

“I confess my pride. I scream inside: You'd better love this man who's given you not just his nervous system but HIS SOUL. You'd better appreciate it. But they don't. They can't. Imprisoned in vanity and sin, they project their needs onto their hero to save themselves. But a hero- and my Dad isn't one-can't save you; only Christ can. Oh I can be righteous when I get going.”
― Ed Davis, The Psalms of Israel Jones: A Novel
