Starting Out

Welcome! 

I'm Nicholas, and I run this place. This blog exists primarily as a reminder to me to continue researching and talking about the things that matter to me, which is a sufficiently diverse and unfocused list that I can't yet make any promises as to content. You'll likely encounter book reviews, particularly of the fantasy or horror genres, discussions of themes and stories, and random research I've stumbled across. Swords and tea might crop up from time to time.

Wednesdays are poetry recommendation days, so you can expect the first real entry tomorrow, and if nothing else we'll have that to look forward to every week. My focus tends toward the Romantics and one or two steps removed from same, so expect a fair amount of that to start.

I'm going to be fiddling with blog format and what types of posts I want to make for the near future, but once things have settled down I'll see about an updated "about this blog" entry and maybe even an "about the author" area, should that seem helpful.

Thank you for joining me! It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
