Kristin Bock & Lee Sharkey (via The Collected Poets Series)
Thursday is our last reading of the summer — we’re hip-high in plans for 2011 even now — which is not the worst substitute for being hip-high in the ocean by any means — and this should be a fabulous end to our third season. If you’re in the area, please come out! Thursday, July […]

Because I’m a tinkerer…
…and because the colors were harsh, the primary blues against a white background, the black title. I liked the direction I was heading in, but I wasn’t there yet. So yes, another tweak in the design, which I find subtler and gentler on the eyes. Because it’s summer, and my eyes could use the rest. […]

The Immersion Experience
Now that it’s officially summer, the word worm that has infiltrated every sound byte is “Vacation!” Even on Google’s home page today their logo has been decked out in beach togs. Frankly, that image is more than enough to leave me frothing with envy. A couple weeks in a rented cottage on the beach, la […]

The Problem with “Motherhood”
I have no great expectations when it comes to Hollywood depictions of motherhood — especially films that deal with urban motherhood, which seems like a different breed altogether — so I didn’t find the Uma Thurman vehicle, “Motherhood,” all that awful. Not that there’s not a lot wrong with this movie (and for funny reads […]

Mihaela Moscaliuc & Nickole Brown (via The Collected Poets Series)
Allow me to dive right in and pretend I haven’t been a neglectful blogger of late. I have been an industrious poet, however, dogged even…but I don’t have time to write about it today. Probably I’ll continue to be a slacker on the blogging front this summer — that does seem to be the trend […]
