To Vietnam
I’m off to Hanoi tomorrow, to meet some old and dear acquaintances in the world of literature. I will be back in a week or so, and will blog it then.

About Me
I am an internationally known poet, lecturer, and scholar, and Founders Professor of Arts and Humanities at the University of Texas at Dallas. I am philosophically interested in time, evolution, and self-organizing complex systems in game theory and economics. Shakespeare is my enduring literary obsession. I practice Shotokan karate. I have two sons, and live in Dallas with my wife and two dogs.
