THE FISHERY: a diary of the Loose-Fish Project

After four months (!) The Good Captain finally concluded tonight.  It’s been a fascinating journey, and it leaves me totally pumped for the next one.  You can find the story archived on this site, by clicking any of the Good Captain links.  They’ll lead to this page. Now, it’s time to start my presentation for BarcampLA5, which begins tomorrow. A perfect bookend.  Perhaps this will become a habit, launching and closing at BarCamp.  So the Loose-Fish will turn its attention away from the world of Melville (although not forever - there’s still a big whale waiting out there.  It tasks me.  It heaps me,) and enter the fascinating domain of America’s second most successful poet of all time, the complex, flawed and utterly human Edgar Lee Masters.  Spoon River, here we come.  

Our presentation went very well, and a lot of folks seems to be interested in what we’re doing.  Here are the slides we used to present.  I read the text (or a loose approximation of it) and Bronwen controlled the slides.There is an audio recording of it, and I will try to get my hands on it.  It includes the  Q&A period afterwards.

Tomorrow is BarCamp LA, which is where I’m taking the wraps off of this project and The Good Captain. Busy with last minute preparations. Excited.

I hope you like what we’re cooking up for you.
