Oh, it's okay! My posts don't go back too far, and most of those weren't written with an original intention of having them up here. Actually, it's good practice figuring out how to explain it all, so I'll give you the long version:

My work for most of the past decade has been in health care, as an occupational therapist. But I also have a creative writing background and did a Master's in that, way back when.

My late wife had finished all but final revisions on a dissertation about Caribbean literature. She left behind a lot of personal notebooks along with her academic writing, and I want to write a book that engages with all of that material--sort of a collaborative work. I decided to move to London for a fresh start, do an MA in Literary Studies to develop my critical skills, and I'm applying to PhD Creative Writing programs now with a proposal for the actual project.

The MA is pretty broad, so I've been reading a lot of different stuff. But I'm realizing that if I were trying to go down a career path of criticism I'd be most interested in the Modernists and early-to-mid 20th century literature more broadly.
