If you are looking at this blog, you have probably come from my personal website, or The Hudson Press' website at
http://www.thehudsonpress.com. Although The Hudson Press is a new institution, I have had a number of blogs over the years: one is the blog I operate for Democracy for the Greater Glens Falls Area at
http://townmeetingday.blogspot.com That blog has now been around for about six years, with a large number of posts about GFA-DFA. Another is a less frequently visited blog at
http://teaintheharbor.blogspot.com/ that I intended to use early on as an outlet for my other writing, but I never really got around to posting on it very much. You can tell it dates from before the 2008 election because of the name— tea in the harbor — which is not a reference to the present so-called tea party movement, but rather Gov. Dean's famous Tea In The Harbor speech in Boston in 2004, where he laid out many of the principles of his campaign and what became the modern progressive movement. For obvious reasons, I won't be using that one any more.
As an author and editor I do a lot of writing that doesn't necessarily fit into my books, and there is also material I submit elsewhere, and will repeat here. If you are interested, check back for news about my books, particularly Forty-Eight Land, where I am, what I am doing, and more. I am working right now on a major non-fiction book, In The Minds Of The People, which I hope to have out sometime this Spring. Given the nature of the material— the importance of language, history and the cognitive mind to politics, all very complicated issues — I know there will be questions and this blog will be the place for them.
Until then, thanks for dropping by.
