Alas, the Aardvark is a slow-moving beast. Mostly, it is dragged by Hardcore Poetics and The Blind Seeker. But, Operation Monkey-Lovin and Whispering the Muse keep resurging and there are faint pulses of life at the other blogs. The people behind them still live and breathe, but for now it is really just Ben and I who make the Aardvark talk. So come, sit at our feet and learn. Shovels are optional.
