Third Factory

If you haven't yet visited Steve Evans's elegant site, Third Factory, you should. He's smart, writes really well, reviews widely & informatively, and has stocked up a ton of alluring goodies, esp. on poetry. His reading lists alone --like Jordan Davis's-- inspire awe. Greta & I being hopeless Roland Barthes partisans (indeed, at this very moment Greta is sitting with her laptop at the dining room table trying to put a paper together reading Woolf's The Waves through Barthes' A Lover's Discourse; she's having a hard time, owing doubtless to the opacity of the latter [she may have to settle for reading the one against the other]), I was pleased to see that Steve published a few years ago an excellent retrospective essay about Barthes he's made available. Check it out.
