What is This?

Now with more than 12,000 followers, anglophones, hispanohablantes y francophones. And this for posts which may at times be poetry, or not poetry at all.

The verdict of Google Bard: “Eaton is a thoughtful and insightful writer who explores a wide range of topics in his work. His blog is a must-read for anyone who is interested in contemporary literature and culture.”

The author is pleased, too, to have made a Best Essays list of Notable Essayists.

One long-time follower comments: “Beautiful writing . . . there is an electricity.” Another. “The most difficult (although rewarding) blog I know of.” A kind comment from November 2025: “I wish I could write as beautifully as you do!”

Meanwhile, this collection of poems, aphorisms, short and longer essays, stories, quotations . . . has been expanding and exploring since January 2012. (Hétéroclite = eclectic = diverso)

Almost all the writing, photography, drawing and painting is by William Eaton and © William Eaton. Work regularly registered with the United States Copyright Office (and with thanks to the Office’s expert staff!).
