…uno de los deberes del poeta, una de las ambiciones del poeta, es restituir la palabra a la magia primordial, hacer que la palabra sea un mito. Jorge Luis Borges, “Mi Prosa.” My translation: “…one of the duties of the poet, one of the ambitions of the poet, is to return the word to the primordial magic, to make that the word be a myth.” Read more

During the Fall of 2004, I played a small coffeshop gig at Franciscan University: my opening act was the newly-arrived freshman singer-songwriter, Kevin Heider. He was good. Real good. Fresh, witty, but not annoying. Not the usual guy-with-a-guitar-and-a-song fare. Now, with some friends, he’s up to some great work with Mysterium, a collective of Catholic artists.

From the bottom of my heart it is all the same to me what the professional philosophers of today think of me; for it is not for them that I am writing. Ludwig Wittgenstein, taken from The Duty of Genius (by Ray Monk). It is one of two epigraphs to A Primer for Philosophy and Education, a book I am piloting this fall at the University of North Dakota. Read more
