Oresteia

Yeah, so I'm moving on to the translation of the Oresteia by Anne Carson, which should be a savvy, poetic version.

Also, I wrote a really crazed dream poem called Black and White about a silver screen B movie siren. It's real messed up, with UFOs, space aliens and a robot in a barnyard.  No predicting dreams.

I am uncertain about continuing in the MFA however. I write so much stuff, have so many goals that it seems like slow motion, writing a paper and 7 poems a month.  I sometimes write 7 poems in a day. Also, it just doesn't seem to be good bang for the buck, $11K a semester. I can go to 7-8 conferences. Mostly, you work by yourself without much feedback, which I can do anyway.
