He writes a brilliant post titled The Definitive List of Problems with American Poetry. As if that isn’t enough for one week, he then […]
I’m just the messenger….
Columnist wanted to write a short (roughly 600 word) ongoing column on diverse subjects related to poetry and the poetry world/community for Dragonfire (www.dfire.org)—a new multidisciplinary, online journal at Drexel, set to launch July 5. We’re looking for articles that are smart but fun and accessible. Pay is approximately $100 per issue […]
This past week’s adventure took me to the Kreeger Musuem, which houses works spanning from the 1850s to the 1970s. Based in the former David and Carmen Kreeger mansion, the museum is home to paintings by Monet, Renoir, Sisley, Pissarro, and Degas. Some of the paintings come from such an early time in the artist’s […]
While DH was at an artist’s residency, I took on his regular chores. I had to grow grass and schlep recycling to the street several times. (I’ve never lived anywhere before that had 3 trash days per week.) One day, I came home and all I could think about was sleep and my bed. I […]

When DH learned I’d never eaten a sausage pizza, he was horrified and rectified the situation immediately (with veggie sausage since I was vegetarian at the time). When he learned I’d never been to a drive-in movie, we hopped in the car immediately and drove an hour north to Bengie’s in Baltimore to see Batman.
We […]
Kate Northrup is a favorite of mine. And then you all heard me gush a month or two ago about Lisa Russ Spaar. Dale mentioned a reading in San Francisco and Steve S. talked about Westchester, and I realized there are a lot of younger poets I don’t know about yet. I’m too busy […]
The other day, I posted some things you probably don’t know about me and asked other bloggers to do the same. Here’s what people are saying about themselves.
Why isn’t Ginger Heatter on my blogroll yet??
Charles Jensen has shown the full monty on film! I knew that naughty grin of his meant something.
In Dale’s third circle […]
Only the Blog ran a small feature on me yesterday. Brooklynites: You should be reading Only the Blog Knows Brooklyn. Louise can write most folks under the table with one pencil tied behind her back.
