Thanks for stopping by! If you’re new here and want to keep up on poetry and 32 Poems, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Since this was a long weekend, I wanted to focus on reading and writing. This morning I sat at the picnic table in the backyard and worked on […]
May 10 was my anniversary…This character makes a mean chicken dish with dijon mustard, tells funny stories, and can make me laugh until my abdomen hurts. We spent part of our anniversary at some hot springs (with pina coladas!) and hiking up to a volcano. I’m not sure that particular day can be beat.
When I […]
“…it seems to me something is missing in Poetry. Recently, I found myself scribbling in the margin somewhere near the back of the April issue, “They’re all so worried.” As an academic philosopher, I do appreciate the concerns that poets today have about the place of poetry in our culture; about its alliance with, if […]
I’m high on sugar today, having just drunk 50g of orange-flavored dextrose for a test. I can’t recall the last time I ate that much sugar, because sugar affects me in odd ways. Maybe I’ll get some good poems/writing out of this slightly insane state of mind.

6. Sleeping
But how does that occupy 24 hours a day? I think she’s really in there playing poker and smoking cigars. When she’s born, she’ll kick […]
My favorite bit of advice is pretty damn simple. It’s so simple that I’m almost embarrassed to write it here…It’s to write at least one hour per day and not to worry about filling the gas tank or weed whacking the out-of-control English ivy in the front yard. Write. One. Hour. Per. Day.
And I […]
Last weekend, I hung out with a friend and her cool in-laws. This family of nuts (yes, Danny, this is your family I am talking about here) created a formula for calculating the “whackness” of various record albums. Their humour is way out there and completely funny, but there’s really no way to recreate it […]
That’s me with some friends in Brooklyn.
These dogs (there were four of them) followed me around La Fortuna for TWO days. Animals are attracted to pregnant ladies. Who knew?
Here are the three of us in an area of High Volcanic Risk.
