About Jesse Hake
Welcome. I’m Jesse Hake. My writing here is a modest affair, but David Bentley Hart has praised the title Copious Flowers, and others like his brother Addison Hodges Hart and Matthew J. Milliner have generously recommended my essays.
Copious Flowers is named for the practice of keeping a florilegium, or commonplace book—a habit of gathering goodness from a wealth of sources, much like bees from blossoms. My newsletter reflects this tradition and my reading life, often quoting passages at length.
