Blog postPublicity sheet David L O’Nan made for the reading I participated in. I had a nice time in Evansville, Indiana, reading with David L O’Nan (Editor of Fevers of the Mind) and friends. I also played Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” on the violin under David’s reading of his poem, “A Hallelujah for a Midnight War.” Met nice people; heard good poetry and an excerpt from Shawna Kay Rodenberg’s memoir, Kin.
Maybe it was a long way to go for a reading, but I’m trying to reach out more. I do hop -
Blog postSharon Mollerus, The Sun Shines on Weeds Too. 14 Aug. 2008. Wikimedia Commons. CC BY 2.0. I’m highly gratified to be long-listed again for the Erbacce Prize, or “erbacce-prize,” as the press writes it. “Erbacce,” the press tells us, is Italian for “weed”–hence the picture I selected for this post. Although many people made the long list, it is truly an honor to be selected out of almost 15,000 entrants from all over the world. Also, it is my second time making the long list out of two times

Blog postView this post on Instagram A post shared by 2% MILK (@uddertimes)
Instagram post from 2% Milk inviting people to their launch party. They asked me to share this. Even though I can only dimly remember the last time I went to a “really cool PARTY,” I was excited to get this invitation in my email. First of all, as I intimated in the “update” at the end of this post, my fellow artists are impressive. Here is a video by Ha Vay to illustrate. Second, the concept behind 2% Milk

Blog postDarrell Taylor, Magic Kingdom – SpectroMagic Parade. 22 Oct. 2006. Wikimedia Commons. CC BY 2.0 One of my violin students is a magic child. She always wears magic clothes. Last lesson it was a retro kimono over athleisurewear. Sometimes it is a glittering unicorn t-shirt. Other times, lots of sequins. It’s not just her wardrobe, either. Sometimes she “is” an animal. Other times, she expresses astonishment over my (very rudimentary) piano playing, as if it were miraculous. Always, she gives t

Blog postI am pleased to see my second contribution as a Wolfpack Contributor to Fevers of the Mind up on the site. I mentioned this piece before: it is the essay I submitted to the “Word Solvers” column of The New York Times. Although they gave me the opportunity to revise it, I found I had said exactly what I had in me to say and could neither transform it into glorified ad copy for their Games app nor come up with any alternative that would do.
I was equally reluctant to submit it elsew

Blog postMarta Stankevica, Woman_Writing_a_Letter.gif. Derived from Gerard ter Borch – Woman Writing a Letter – 797 – Mauritshuis.jpg. 2020. Wikimedia Commons. CC BY 4.0. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my blog–yes, the very blog you are reading right now–has been accepted by Mslexia for their “Blogability” feature. It will appear in Issue 94 in June.
Mslexia is a print and digital magazine produced in the UK for women writers. I am not very familiar with it, but I was on its mailing -
Blog postBook about Rena and her art. Taken by me. I was happy when Steve, Rena’s husband, delivered this book today. I wrote about my piece in it and my friendship with Rena here. I’m honored to be in this book, and I hope it kindles interest in displaying Rena’s artwork. Although it was privately printed, I expect it will have a good number of readers, as Rena had a large circle of friends and relations. I’m looking forward to seeing more of Rena’s artwork in the volume and getting to know her thro

Blog postDoug Smith, Gibbon wolf pack standing on snow. 1 March 2007. Wikimedia Commons. PD. It was fun to find I had made my debut as a Wolfpack Contributor over at David L O’Nan’s Fevers of the Mind.
Both my bio and my poem sequence, “Three Poems About the Grand Canyon,” are up there now. I have been reading the bios and poems of my fellow pack members, and it is flattering and challenging to find myself in such heady company. I will have to pull my poetic socks up.
I wro -
Blog postWater color and pen and ink work by Rena Williams, photographed by me. I am not sure whether this has a title, but she said she created it for her son Robert, who passed away in his thirties. My friend Rena died in October. As her artwork suggests, she was an endlessly creative person. She was also full of love for all things good and beautiful and perpetually curious about the world. She left a lot of great art behind–I am fortunate to have a small collection of it–and her family and friend

Blog postRackham, Arthur. 1909 illustration of Romeo and Juliet for Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb. 14 January 1909. Wikimedia Commons. {{PD-US-expired}}. Seriously. Not an April Fool’s joke. My “Sonnet from Romeo and Rosaline,” which I wrote about here, and which I thought would be hard to place, has been purchased by Bullshit Lit for their first Bullshit Anthology, whose ETA is late summer. Many thanks to Editor in Chief Veronica Bennett for her excellent taste
