ABOUT ME
Who Is Dr. Samuel Gilpin?
I work with language at the point where speed, clarity, and performance begin to lose credibility. This site exists because attention has become scarce, and with it, the possibility of encountering one’s life directly. Much of what now passes for thinking arrives too quickly to carry weight, so that writing, as practiced here, slows language until it can no longer carry us past what we would prefer not to see.
My name is Dr. Samuel Gilpin; the work stands on its discipline, not its title.
