The Consolations of Writing: Essays, Reflections and Poems

This page is designed to give ready access to some of my writings which fit less readily into the format of a blog post. All writings are hosted at The Consolations of Writing, the sister blog for Ideas From the North. New writings posted there will also be indexed here to make them easy to keep track of. I hope that they are helpful to those who find them or choose to read them.
