I went to an excellent symposium on bluegrass music at Harvard yesterday, organized by the Harvard student American Music Association and the university’s Committee on Degrees in Folklore & Mythology.  It made me proud to work at Harvard.

Yesterday morning, in anticipation of that event, I added to this blog some some lyrics that I have written.  If you’re looking for a hymn to sing at church this coming season of Lent, check out “Suburban Hymn.”

Thanks to a drawing that they had for early adopters, I became a poster child for the new library automobile license plate campaign in Massachusetts.  I posed with with Lois Lowry, an author of children’s and young adult literature.

Lois received the Newbury medal in 1990 for Number the Stars, a book set in Denmark under Nazi control, and again in 1994 for The Giver, a book that explores darkness in a seemingly perfect world.
