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…

“With pickles for his toes and a cherry for his nose, that’s the way my story goes.”
When I woke Vincent up for preschool this morning, he was laying on top of his hands. He looked at his hands then looked at me with those morning-Puck eyes and said, “My hands are ugly.” He woke up singing yesterday morning, and he fell asleep last night in the middle of a word in…

She’s a hurricane.
It’s been an atypically social week here. I met my former bookshop co-workers at one’s Amherst apartment for lunch, and on two separate evenings heard 6 different poets read: * Tim Mayo — not for the first time, he’s a great friend, but I so enjoy hearing him; Jan Freeman — this publisher of Paris…
