Private: About

I like to launch creative projects and write about people, events, and ideas that deserve a little more attention.

Hobbyhorses include, in no particular order:

  • Nineteenth and early twentieth century social and cultural history
  • Ice dance
  • T.S. Eliot
  • Travel, including of the temporal variety
  • Language
  • Choreography
  • Decorative arts
  • Belle & Sebastian
  • British royal history
  • Novels written or set in the 1920s and ’30s
  • Fashion history
  • Canada
  • The compositions of Edward Elgar

And if I haven’t already written about any above subject, well, consider it a spoiler.
