Hi all, First, a quick note: I’m offering two workshops on zoom, Saturdays May 4 and May 11, 2024, through the Amherst Writers and Artists Write Around the World fundraiser. My workshops are called Poetry for People Afraid of Poetry, a pair I’ve offered in a slightly different format before, and I really enjoyed them. They can be taken together or standalone. How it works: you sign up for the workshop(s) through the AWA website, and donate 20-40 dollars, and then I donate my time to offer the zooms.
Always great to read your thoughts from the notebook thanks for the "morning" pages reminder. I did these years ago and your comments feel like a nudge. I like what you say about the form you follow what's the weather outside, what's the view, what's going on inside kinda reminds me of May Sarton's The house By the Sea where journalling was a way of bringing her observations of nature in her environment onto the page, along with other events comments but the part I loved best was the commentary on the garden.
Kelsey, thank you so, so much for mentioning Taking Note and your appreciation for those posts. I was reading along, thinking of how I was going to make a comment about my beloved Magnolia tree and how only half of it is blooming properly, and how I wondered if it had to do with the cold snap in January that killed a few of my plants. Then there was my name all of a sudden and I have to say, I needed that boost today 🥲. Thank you! ❤️🔥
Are your “morning” pages completed “daily” like mine? ;)
Lovely! And yes, the magnolia trees are so beautiful right now!
Zombies!
