What is This?

Now with more than 5,400 followers, anglophone, hispanohablante y francophone, spanning the globe, and more every day. (The author is pleased, too, to have made a Best Essays list of Notable Essayists.)

The Gravatar of a recent follower, a man with a Chinese name, comes with this phrase: “Soy alguien que no se resigna.” I’m someone who’s not giving up.“ May this (j’espère) describe the Montaigbakhtinian community!

Another comments: “Beautiful writing . . . there is an electricity.” And another that Montaigbakhtinian is “The most difficult (although rewarding)” blog she knows of.

Meanwhile, this collection of poems, aphorisms, short and longer essays, quotations . . . continues to expand. From another dear reader: “I am constantly waiting for new posts because your work is quite amazing.”

All who read, think and feel are most welcome!
