Woolf “Pilgrimage”

Posted in essays, Virginia Woolf, tagged , , , , on Monday 23 June 2014| 1 Comment »

Screen Shot 2014-06-23 at 4.20.42 PMOf all the personal essays I’ve written, the one that’s nearest and dearest to my heart has just been published. It’s about the origin of my going-on-25-years history with Virginia Woolf. More than just a fascination with an author or adoption of a muse or mentor, it was the start of what has become the most fulfilling time of my life, and it led to my own writing.

“Pilgrimage” is just released at Bloom, a literary site devoted to authors whose first major work was published when they were age 40 or older. Woolf isn’t one of those authors, but I am. The particular call that I responded to was for essays about a book or author that served as inspiration, so it’s fitting all the way around

Two other essays about other aspects of my Woolfian explorations were previously published:

“Elvis Standing By,” the story of our Rodmell connection–other than Virginia Woolf–was  published in Eclectica Magazine in the April/May 2011 issue.

“Cornish Pasty,” the St. Ives chapter, appeared in in Phoebe Journal, Fall 2012.

Reflections on the Woolf Conference from first-time presenters

Posted in 24th Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf, Virginia Woolf, tagged on Thursday 19 June 2014| 1 Comment »

One of the best things about the Annual International Conference on Virginia Woolf is the warm welcome that seasoned Woolf scholars give to new voices.

As a first-time presenter at the conference, the highlight of my trip to Chicago was meeting many of the scholars whose work I have studied and valued for many years.

Here are a few comments on the event from another first-time attendee:

Kelle Mullineaux from Northern Illinois University presented a talk called “Virginia Woolf: Composition Theorist: How Imagined Audiences Can Wreck a Writer” and had this to say about the conference:

“I loved the location of this year’s conference. Loyola is a gorgeous university, and staying in the dorms made it easy for me to ‘settle in’ and navigate the campus comfortably. In addition, the Woolf conference provided more than just presentations (though the presentations were excellent). I’ve never been to a conference that included a theatrical production or multimedia workshops, but the Woolf conference provided both! The coordinators did an excellent job of showcasing the diverse impact Woolf has had on the arts.”
