This Won't End Well: On Loving Greek Tragedy.

Thanks for joining me here! I’ve been teaching ancient Greek literature (as well as narrative nonfiction writing) for many years, most of them at Wesleyan University in Connecticut. In 2011, I began teaching incarcerated students through Wesleyan’s Center for Prison Education. Working with these men was in part the inspiration for this newsletter. Greek tragedy, with its focus on the precariousness of life and the human struggle to reset the course of fate, is for everybody. The plays tell me something new every time I retell them here.
