Korrektiv is gearing up for a great and productive 2018. (It’s good to let publishing start-ups lie fallow every few years, planting only word-fixing crops like JOB’s poetry to replenish the creative urge.) In the meantime, Friend of Korrektiv and Wiseblood wizard Joshua “Word Bird” Hren has a new poem up over at First Things. Read it, and then raise your hand if you had to look up “numinous” to make sure you had it right. Now raise your hand if you had to look up “logikēn latreian.” Søren says, Raise your hand.
Thanks, Broderick. You are a national treasure.

Oof. I live in the wrong town, have the wrong job, and have the wrong politics. I do, however, make art of a sort, at least now and then, and if Bat Out of Hell isn’t a quirky project out to upset conventional wisdom, I don’t know what is. And I don’t work for the gub’mint. So here’s hoping!
Speaking for the gub’mint I’d say that is our loss.
On a related note, I know what sections of Toys R Us you walked through last week.
