Last weekend I tried to start a rap-battle with a university president. #Mythmoot
Sara Brown just spoke about #Tolkien as a war poet. His poems look internally, where the most famous WWI poets looked outward, bitterly and angrily, toward the people who weren’t on the front. Faërie is the means by which he jumped past those early Kübler-Ross stages. #Mythmoot
Prof. Dickieson would like to use #AI to become more human. I wish him luck. #Mythmoot https://apilgriminnarnia.com/2025/06/09/hnau-ai/

#Mythmoot XI has begun! #Tolkien
@pretensesoup I presented at #Mythmoot which is a conference put on by #SignumUniversity every year, usually mostly #Tolkien content. I wrote a conclusion to the Lay of Leithian, a poetic telling of the story of Beren and Luthien which JRRT never finished. I spoke about the process of writing this, then read the final canto. I believe it was well received.
