Here's my essay/review on modernist misreadings of Petrarch and A.M. Juster's translation of the Canzoniere at Socrates on the Beach. Many thanks to @Greg_Gerke

I love great writing and hate how it's treated on the internet. So I built something to try to fix that.
If you wish there were a better place to share your writing, to discover new work, to talk culture and books, then I invite you to read—and to join me.
