Hi all, First, a few notes: I will be part of a reading at Small Gods Brewing Co. (9835 Third St.) March 12 at 6 pm Pacific in Sidney. Tickets are $10 for reserved seating and $5 general admission. I’m so looking forward to letting a few more poems from my new not-yet-a-book come out to see the light. Would love to see any local folks there!
"Is that where music comes from? The stones in our path? Maybe if there was nothing to slow us down, no impediments, there would be no music, no reason to sing." I love that.
"Sometimes I want my words to furrow the eyebrows, to make people stop, even stumble, in their usual path." LOVE THIS! I believe that art hurts...and we are here to both create and create discomfort. Now, that doesn't mean we can't also be touching and funny and playful and whimsical...but making a whole bunch of people stumble is such a wildly fantastic goal! Lovely post, as always! :)

LOVE - she loves you with a quiet
certainty that you could use
to heat your house
