I have been working on an essay about the Telemachy (the four first book of the Odyssey that are mostly concerned with Telemachus) for two months. It is caught in that Dantian level of hell called Over-Researching. In the middle of pondering the latest iteration this reflection on Christine Perrin's "Reading Telemachus" came up. Oh, Providence. I think this may be the inspiration for me to climb out of this pit and finish writing this darned essay!
Ah! I’m so happy to hear Christine’s lovely poem!
