Pastariffic Makes Blog's Bucket List

Wallace Stevens published "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" in 1917. It is an incomparable piece of American poetry that tackles such timeless questions as the relationship between humans and the natural world and how perspective shapes both what we know and can know. On some readings, the poem interrogates the limitations of sight as a (the?) privileged modality for human experience.  

Today, a national blog called Only In Your State published "13 Restaurants You Have to Visit in Indiana before You Die." These two pieces could not be more different, but I desperately needed a segue. Pastarrific, which was reviewed by ASOK* in the depths of winter 2014, made the list—one that includes such diverse Hoosier favorites as Samira in Bloomington, St. Elmo's in Indy, and South of Chicago in downtown and Fishers.
