About

A journal, commonplace book, and Wunderkammer by Alan Jacobs.

I blog at The American Conservative; I used to write for the Technology channel of The Atlantic and may do so again; I'm a Contributing Editor for The New Atlantis. Also, I tweet.

My critical edition of W. H. Auden’s long poem For the Time Being: A Christmas Oratorio will be published in May.

I’ve written a book about the Book of Common Prayer that will be published by Princeton University Press this fall, and I’ve created an associated tumblelog.

My next book will be about Christian humanism in a time of total war.

I invite you to a meditative encounter with my online project The Gospel of the Trees.

Please consider supporting this tumblelog by buying some of my books. I will thank you, my family will thank you, and the internet — surely — will thank you.
