"Rare Talent, Imperfect Art" at THE MILLIONS

It's been a while since I've been here--had to dust things off a bit. But happy to report that I have an essay on teaching, up at The Millions today: http://www.themillions.com/2013/09/rare-talent-imperfect-art.html. I do some soul-searching here, which made it challenging--but also rewarding--to write. Please share if you know of others who might like to read it. And let me know what you think!
