Hmmm…you seem to have left out the Bama Belle, the Tuscaloosa ghost and the amazing cigarette swallowing magician. Any sightings yet? After reading your list, I will have to try & visit Tuscaloosa.

Comment on The Poetics of Grant Writing by aline soules

I’ve been in academia for 40 years (it’s a confession, after all these years!) and grant writing is exactly as you describe–detailed, bureaucratic, and political–but it can also be collaborative, provide much needed funds, and give you a level of independence you didn’t expect.

I’ll also share an old joke:

What’s the worst thing that can happen with a grant application? That you don’t get it.
What’s the second worst thing that can happen with a grant application? That you get it!

The idea is that once you have it, you have to produce whatever it is you said you’d produce.

It’s a challenge, but worth the effort.

P.S. Congratulations on your highly literate & witty list–I love “Rilke & Goethe” and “Levis and Levine”:, for example. God, what a relief it is to see proof that someone in this country has actually read some books! Best, FW
