I appreciate an apologetics qualified by the hope that someone out there just might want to hear terribly dull things. I also love Strabo\u2019s way of cataloging obscure places, tribes, peoples he has heard or read about\u2014almost as an obligation, from a sense of duty.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theconversant.org\/?p=3412\">Daniel Tiffany with Andy Fitch<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Conversant speaks to USC Poet and Professor Daniel Tiffany about his latest book, Neptune Park.
