So it's the first full day of winter vacation. I still have tons to do for CCAD (that will come later this afternoon) but in the meantime, I wanted to make a record of all the ridiculous and unpublishable projects I have rotating their rotisserie of uselessness in my head so that when none of them see the light of day I can laugh at myself even harder later, then cry.

1. A poem about Henry James in Venice (project about dead white guy #1).
2. A long poem/verse play about Benjamin Britten and the writing of A Ceremony of Carols during his transatlantic sea voyage on a Swedish cargo ship called the Axel Johnson (project about dead white guy #2).
3. Essays about Cincinnati and theft especially about Cincinnati's own George Remus (project about dead white guy #3)
4. Play in which two frequent museum and gallery-goers (i.e. Josh and Lesley) discuss famous works of abstract, conceptual and performance art (plotless and ineffectual project that will include some dead white guys #4).

And then there's that collection of poems I need to make better so maybe someone will like it.
