Mid-Week Field Notes–September 15, 2021

Some very quick things:

1. Feedback from my agent about my new YA novel in verse book proposal conflicts with what my editor and I have discussed. I have more comparative titles to read and I’m going to sound out my editor again.
2. The semester’s teaching load and other academic projects, not including my dissertation, are already creating an imbalanced life. I’ll be ruminating on this over Yom Kippur.
3. Now reading Judy Batalion’s The Light of Days. I’ve assigned it to my Holocaust Resistance & Rescue class at The College of New Jersey.

Shana tova! And to those of you who fast on Yom Kippur, may it be an easy one.
