Get your copy of the Reb Livingston’s Bedside Guide to No Tell Motel. Seductive poems? I’m getting my copy pronto.
We had a friend in town for a conference and met him downtown for tapas. I do have to say “Spanish” tapas, don’t I? In DC, you can get tapas from any country. I had to have the tortilla espanola, which I lived on during our too-short trip to Spain last year. I try not […]
For those of you writers out there, I’m curious how you discovered you were a writer?
I adore writing. I like the sound of paper and pen coming together. I like using a good pen that lets the ink flow as quickly as I write. Notebooks of all kinds intrigue me; probably the only kind I […]
I keep wondering “what the heck have I been doing?” and then I remember the past week was a wash. I read TIME and Best New Poets 2005 and stayed in my pajamas until 3 p.m. and drank water and took vitamin C and consoled myself with the realization that no way could I be […]

Liv Ullman and Erland Josephson portray Marianne (lawyer) and Johan (doctor) in this movie about a professional couple’s unraveling relationship. With few other characters besides the two mentioned above, we’re forced to look up close at the pain and devastation these two people bring on each other. The children, always asleep or elsewhere, seem nonexistent […]

For a special issue to be published in July 2006, Kim Roberts and guest editor Andrea Carter Brown seek poems celebrating Washington DC.
Poems must mention a specific location in the city by name, for example, a street, neighborhood, park, building, or monument.

The fog rolls in during the mornings now. The houses look like half houses and the tree trunks blend into the grey while the tops of them disappear. The scene reminded me of Jessica Dunne’s paintings. It’s been about a million and one years since I first met her at an artist colony, but I […]
