Among other things, I’m a choral singer. In musical terms, “polyphonic” is music with multiple independent melodies occurring at the same time, resulting in rich, complex harmonies. Kind of like life, I think. And this blog, I hope.

A Polyphonic Life is my blog, which I also publish on Substack. I’ve returned to blogging after a hiatus because writing brings my great joy. This blog explores history, politics, writing, music, nature, faith, food, technology, culture, and other things that interest me. I try to be optimistic and reflective in my writing, to hold up the good work of others, and share resources that I hope add value to my readers.
