Teach, Delight, Move is a newsletter about rhetoric, technology, and culture.

I write commentary, reviews, and criticism.

Every now and then I dabble in fiction and satirical "existential quizzes" (in the spirit of my hero Walker Percy).

Who am I?

My name is Justin N. Bonanno. I’m a Catholic University professor who loves to read and write. I earned my PhD in Rhetoric in 2020 from Duquesne University.

At present, I’m the only one who posts here. But perhaps in the future you’d like to contribute a guest post.

What am I writing?

At present, reviews, commentary, and criticism. Every now and then I venture into fiction and satirical “existential quizzes” (in the spirit of my hero Walker Percy).

Why am I writing?

Teaching is a spiritual act of mercy. We’re all in ignorance about some things. The goal is to share what I know, especially about communication, with a wider audience.

And I like writing. So here’s a venue for me to do that.

And any small amount of money that someone is willing to pay to support my work makes me feel good and validated. It helps pay the bills (or, possibly, could be used to fund other endeavors).
