HaySeed Ink: February 2011
http://hayseedink.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Waking up with the chickens. Monday, February 28, 2011. Over the past few weeks, my credit card has gotten quite the workout. In no particular order:. And a few nights at the Magnolia in Omaha = bought and paid for. About a month ago, I was seeing what Broadway shows were touring and saw that Wicked. Is in Omaha in May. I mentioned to B, "we should go to that." Then, a few days after that, my bff J. from back home e-mailed me and said, " Wicked. Is coming to Omaha. Me and R. want to go? Do you and B?

Protest and Hyperbole: 2009.10

Tuesday, October 20, 2009. More About Your Fat Ass. Rethinking Thin: The New Science of Weight Loss- and the Myths and Realities of Dieting. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. Not relevant. The reason the vast majority of people can't keep weight off after dieting is that your body is working against you to get you back to whatever weight is your "set point." We have decent control over maybe 10-20 pounds. And you know what else? I've just blown your mind, haven't I? View all my reviews. Links to this post. Cather...

corn shake: more from the Dodge
http://cornshake.blogspot.com/2010/11/more-from-dodge.html
More from the Dodge. With my brothers, Joseph Legaspi and Oliver at the book tent. Shoes I wore during the festival. Missing: black patent leather maryjane flats. With Ms. Rita after her craft talk. Missed the livestream at the Dodge Poetry Festival? Watch the day 1 Poetry Sampler HERE. I will never get over reading right before la SHARON OLDS. Whaaaaat? Sexy, I know, right? At any rate, at Dodge, there were too many poetic treats to mention but was especially great to hear Dorianne Laux and Joe Millar r...

HaySeed Ink: November 2009
http://hayseedink.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Waking up with the chickens. Sunday, November 29, 2009. The Perennials are Coming Back. So, it turned out I did have "the chiggers.". I thought only hillbillies got chiggers; I think this because my Okie cousins talked about chiggers all the time when we were little. Anywho, B and I were raking a while ago, and I was itchy for awhile, and then I painted my stomach with clear nail polish, and now I am all better. This makes sense, right? Monday, November 16, 2009. The Flu is for The Weak. 2 I am rediscove...

Troubled Guest: The Red Shoes
http://troubledguest.blogspot.com/2011/07/red-shoes.html
And so long as you haven't experienced this: to die and so to grow, you are only a troubled guest on the dark earth." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Monday, July 4, 2011. The first pair was different. She made them from found scraps. Pieced together carefully at night. She no longer minded being poor. Then the gilded carriage came. In its radiant glistenings. The old woman inside like a dried bean in her pod. With the carriage came duty and being quiet. When the girl really wanted to hunt for more scraps.

Troubled Guest: Becoming Gertrude
http://troubledguest.blogspot.com/2010/12/becoming-gertrude.html
And so long as you haven't experienced this: to die and so to grow, you are only a troubled guest on the dark earth." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Tuesday, December 7, 2010. I will have a salon like Gertrude Stein,. And all the weirdness in the world. Will belong to me;. It will be mine to open like a bat. Mitzvah gift found twenty years too late. I will wear a caftan and pour shiraz. Into tall stems; the poets. Will settle in one corner hoarding. The cheese platter, and the painters. Are all quite dizzy.

HaySeed Ink: December 2009
http://hayseedink.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Waking up with the chickens. Wednesday, December 02, 2009. The branch will not break,. The branch will not break, the branch will not break. The semester started out pretty well, I thought. I felt my class homework schedules were tight and challenging and interesting. I liked my batch of students, for the most part. My own creative writing was going to be showcased at different conferences, camps, and collaborations. Now, I feel like everything is called into question. I want everything to be perfect.

Troubled Guest: Return of the Rider
http://troubledguest.blogspot.com/2010/08/return-of-rider.html
And so long as you haven't experienced this: to die and so to grow, you are only a troubled guest on the dark earth." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Friday, August 20, 2010. Return of the Rider. The girl breaks her silence;. After the fall from the polo pony,. The quiet entombed her,. Holding her like a chained. Demon from the light. Now she sees the rain falling,. Hears the drops pound the stable roof,. Asks herself Where are the ponies? The ponies are retired,. Bridles left hanging on rusty nails. Eight...

Troubled Guest: On Writing Poetry
http://troubledguest.blogspot.com/2010/09/on-writing-poetry.html
And so long as you haven't experienced this: to die and so to grow, you are only a troubled guest on the dark earth." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Friday, September 3, 2010. Learning to write poetry is a lot like learning to draw. When you first start out drawing, you see a face. Okay, that's easy: a big circle with 2 smaller ones inside for eyes, and a semi-circle for a mouth. Voila! How does it feel on your skin, head, your open palm? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). You cant deny the fact. Town of...
