About

This is Animal Rationis Capax. The animal capable of rationality. Essays, observations, fragments, sometimes a photograph or a longer sequence — writing that earns its attention.

It is shaped by careful typography, by doors rather than a feed, and by the conviction that some thought needs room to land.

You are welcome to walk through.

I am David Glidden — a violist, and, here, a writer. The work on this site is mine; I am answerable for it.
