		<description><![CDATA[So I have a new writing project &#8212; it&#8217;s in the tiny larval stages so I don&#8217;t want to talk about it too much, but I&#8217;m working on a murder mystery. One of my dearest friends here in town is Maryanne Vollers, author of the amazing books Ghosts of Mississippi: The Murder of Medgar Evers, the Trials of Byron De La Beckwith, and the Haunting of the New South and Lone Wolf: Eric Rudolph: Murder, Myth, and the Pursuit of an American Outlaw. We were both at a dinner party last night, and Maryanne arrived with a big bag of books for me. There we were like a couple of kids, cackling and pulling out books like Evil: An Investigation and Why They Kill: The Discoveries of a Maverick Criminologistout of the bag. &#8220;This one&#8217;s really great,&#8221; Maryanne said handing me Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us. While the non-writer dinner guests were sort of appalled, for the most part, this is Livingston, where not only is the cackling of writers in the corners of parties perfectly normal, but where you can count on your friends to have a stash of books on the psychology of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While in some ways I hate to give Caitlin Flanagan any more web traffic for her flameball of an article about school gardens, the response has been very heartening. Here&#8217;s a link roundup: Red Herrings Are Not Dinner Food, or why Caitlin Flanagan is WRONG about school gardens &#124; Oakland Local Mag writer: Alice Waters and school gardens are evil An Edible Schoolyard in Durham: How Kids Grow (Video) Samuel Fromartz: Atlantic&#8217;s Caitlin Flanagan Blames Arugula for California&#8217;s Failing Schools Chef Kurt Michael Friese&#8217;s response was probably my favorite, in part because I find the contempt for manual labor among the upper classes both incomprehensible and odious. And even this morning&#8217;s New York Times Food section had a piece on a school in Greenpoint that is poised to build the first edible schoolyard in the New York area. As someone who comes from a long line of experiential educators, as well as someone who watched a number of very very smart family members struggle with dyslexia (and thrive when given something concrete to do), I think anything that gets kids connecting what they&#8217;re learning in the classroom to applications in the real world is a great thing &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FaceBook is a funny thing &#8212; I have deeply mixed feelings about it although I do like being in a sort of everyday casual contact with lots of old friends. On Saturday, when I was in between garden chores, I checked in to see what was happening and my old friend Sean O&#8217;Grady had posted Jim Houston&#8217;s obituary in the New York Times. I had no idea he&#8217;d been ill, and was just shocked that he&#8217;s gone. Jim was a tall, gentle man who you could count on to give you a true reading of your work. The very first year we did the Art of the Wild workshop at Squaw Valley, I got lucky enough to do a manuscript consultation with Jim. I had a chapter, maybe two of Place Last Seen, and I&#8217;ll never forget him looking at me across one of those white wire tables by the fountain and saying, &#8220;Well, it&#8217;s a real book. Now all you have to do is organize your life so you can write it.&#8221; There were many many moments writing that book when I thought I couldn&#8217;t do it, and then I&#8217;d hear Jim&#8217;s deep voice telling me I wasn&#8217;t delusional, [...]]]></description>
