“Dreaming Nothing.” Parabola 5.2 (1980): 18-23.
"Dreaming Nothing" was an unusual personal essay which began as an attempt to write about a strange, recurring childhood dream. The product (as was so much of my early stuff) of diverse reading--H. P. Lovecraft, Italo Calvino, jonathan Cott's biography of Karlheinz Stockhausen, R. Murray Schafer's The Tuning of the World, Steven Weinberg's The First Three Minutes--it ended up being part autobiography, part cosmology.
A version of it appeared in Late for the Sky. It can now be found in The Ventriloquist.
