One day I woke up to a thundering crash. It reminded of me when I lived in Florida and the Space Shuttle would re-enter the atmosphere; the resulting […]

I’m beside myself with excitement. A month ago, I’d never heard of a “vine crawl” and yet I’ll be attending one this coming Saturday. From 5 - 5:45, we’ll sample U.S. wine and 5:45 p.m. will have us in Italy. Every 30-40 minutes, we’ll visit another house to taste wine from another country until we […]
The wompo board has an interesting discussion going on. Someone remarked that the current trend of theme books doesn’t work well for them and she thinks that theme books don’t serve the individual poems. The question begs to be asked.

New Letters accepted two poems (”The Accident” and “Deborah Sampson”) of mine. I received that cheery news while in Austin.
The Eleventh Muse will be mailed out soon. I’m looking forward to my contributor issue and to seeing poems from Sandra Beasley, Jeannine Gailey, Carrie Jerrell, John Poch, and more.

The course starts March 27 and you can join at any time during it. Also, it’s free.
My goal is to bring together a global group of […]
Someone told Dale that his writing a blog is despicable. Maybe that person was drunk when they said it, yet I wonder. Is it? If we read Bishop’s One Art — which I’ve read cover to cover — we see numerous letters she wrote. They are fascinating to me. Letter writing, unfortunately, has gone by […]
In 1971 — at the same time Republicans were starting their ‘family values’ campaign — Nixon vetoed a bill that would have created national daycare. Evidently, it’s a waste of money to provide help in caring for the future of our country.
Over the past few days, I’ve been reading about the “war on welfare mothers” […]
