In a gesture of truly shameless (but relevant) self-promotion, I wanted to note that I published an article this past week in The Journal of the Blake Society: you can read my work here, on pages 8-13.

My article concerns Blake’s idea of the “vortex.” Although I don’t discuss Finnegans Wake in that piece, I have written about the vortex and Finnegans Wake here, in a post about doorways. Briefly, the idea that everything — especially each word of each language — is a kind of portal to a rich inner world is also one that inspires my approach to the Wake. I have ideas for further linking Blake and Joyce, which I may sketch out on the blog and which I may develop into other publications and book projects in the years to come.

In the meanwhile, check out the rest of that issue of the journal and consider joining the Blake Society if you’re not already a member!
