Do you need further proof that writing keeps you youthful?  If only Nelson were a writer! Here is what [...]

AAAhhhh! Literati!  Our thanks to Suzanne Morse, woman warrior, for the gift of this whine goblet that clearly indicates that William Shakespeare had anger issues expunged through writing. Our friend in the UK, Jack Horne, found a few more with which to diminish the wench what done him wrong. Please join him as he extracts [...]

The world’s second most interesting man shares an inside joke with the editor in chief.  He quips; “I don’t write often, but when I do it’s for A Word with you Press” Literati As of this moment, I have no idea what is to follow as my own entry into our contest Wing Nuts.  But [...]

(Stephen Roberts is a well-bread author) Ladies and gentlemen of the Literati! With diligence and medication–oops!–dedication–New Yorker Stephen Roberts makes it his mission to research (yes, he calls it research) the best bars in New York, and to detail his findings in his blog “Best Bar Wednesdays” (http://robertswriter.robertswriter.net/?p=199) So that is why we are so [...]

  Literati!  I once pulled into Nazareth.  I was feeling about half past dead. Then I discovered that Nazareth, Pennsylvania, was to home of Martin Guitars so this was no place to get unstrung. Though perhaps I would have though differently if I knew it was also the home of Diane Cresswell’s favorite tavern.  Let [...]

Cat got your tongue? Literati! Our own Technical director Diana Diehl has been pried from her obligations writing a screenplay (for pay!) to play with us again, this being her second entry into Wing Nuts. She explained herself in an email, and though it does not quite rate a Thorning I thought it none-the-less inappropriate [...]
