Hello, everyone. My name is Greg Wolfe and I'm joining the dotCommonweal blog with this post.I thought the best way to start would be to let you know a little about myself -- and what interests me.I've been an occasional -- very occasional -- contributor to Commonweal in recent years. A few book reviews and an article which the editors, in their infinite wisdom, entitled "I Was a Teenage Conservative." (My proposed title was the more dignified but perhaps less racy "Portrait of the Editor as a Young Man.")Trying to find time to write is a bit of a challenge as I wear a few hats.One of my jobs is to edit IMAGE journal, a literary quarterly celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, which features contemporary fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, visual art and more as they intersect with the Judeo-Christian thing (or what Walker Percy referred to as "God Jews Jesus Church").IMAGE also runs a variety of other programs including the Glen Workshop and its own group blog, Good Letters.I also direct a low-residency MFA in Creative Writing program at Seattle Pacific University where IMAGE is based.My interests lie primarily in the area of literature and the arts, as well as aesthetics and cultural criticism. I'm not as good on tax policy or the geo-politics of the Middle East, but I guess as a blogger I'm already an expert on absolutely everything.I was received into the Church while I was in grad school back in 1983. If you look to your right, you will see an ad for Commonweal boasting a number of illustrious Catholic writers who have appeared in its pages over the years. These guys and gals were largely responsible for my conversion.So thanks for welcoming me onto your screens. Until the next post....
