At my core, I’m a reader, but given the choice in entertainment, I will choose TV over books. I know, I know, but there’s something about a good TV series that I love so much. One of the first shows that I got hooked on was Lost, J.J. Abrams’s  wildly popular survival science fiction drama with the notoriously questionable ending. Since Lost ended its run, I’ve re-watched it multiple time. Last summer, I paid special attention to the many books and literary references throughout the show.   The Island has a few bookworms, including Sawyer,...

Charles Dickens wrote, in his novel David Copperfield, “I hope that real love and truth are stronger in the end than any evil or misfortune in the world.” This line is spoken by Agnes Wickfield, with the novel’s main antagonist being the evil and misfortune against which she wills her love for her ailing father. Agnes, being David’s close friend and eventual wife, is one of the novel’s most important characters, and the longing for love and truth to prevail over all is a central theme of the novel. By...

I’ve never successfully figured out what to do with pressed flowers. I don’t tend to save the petals of flowers I buy — and I’m a big believer in treating yourself to a bouquet anytime you please — but flowers from special occasions I have saved. I’m feeling extremely inspired by these pressed flower bookmarks as a potential opportunity to keep those memories alive. Whether or not you keep old petals yourself, these pressed flower bookmarks are gorgeous. I’m not in the market for a new bookmark right now, but...

We’ve been celebrating a lot of comic book anniversaries lately, and I’ve been pretty excited for 2021, because it marks the 80th anniversary of Green Arrow. Sure, the ol’ Battling Bowman is typically a C-list DC character, or maybe B-list at best — he’s certainly not as major a hero as some of his fellow newly minted octogenarians, like Wonder Woman and Captain America. But Green Arrow and his extended franchise are my very favorite DC family, and I’ll take any excuse to blather about them. In fact, as of...

When I was a freshman in college, I was asked to perform an original poem at a fundraiser for a local museum. After performing, I was elated and baffled by the reception from those listening as I recited. I didn’t feel ready for seeking publication through literary journals (and also did not know much about publishing) and wanted my poems to reach a larger audience. Quickly I realized a solution: Instagram poetry. While I no longer post my poetry on Instagram as my relationship and purpose for writing poetry has...
