Do You Realize There Are Only 7 Weeks Left to the Year?
Egads, where has the time went?! There’s micro-time, this week, wherein: I drove to North Adams for a meeting, have my reading tonight with Kim Rogers at the Green Street Café (which I am so excited about; that and the dinner provided — Green St. has an excellent menu!), and tomorrow afternoon I’m visiting, in…

The Thing about Publishing.
I’m drinking coffee at my desk. The baby’s napping, Lance took Vincent for a walk. And I’ve just noticed a couple phrases Lance scrawled on the legal pad on my desk at some point in the last day or so: “Robust incoherence” and “transcendent vacuity”. I don’t know if he was criticizing something himself or…

Weekend Recap, or, I am Launched!
What a whirlwind of a weekend! Even though I was tethered to a table all day Saturday during the Massachusetts Poetry Festival, I had a grand time. Unlike some literary festivals where folks ignore the book tables in droves, MassPo is all about poetry & poets, and poets love books, so I was able to…

Digging out from Under.
Have I ever neglected my blog this long before? Apologies! At last I have my beloved iBook back — well, a refurbished clone of my beloved, actually, but it will most certainly do — and I’m so backed up and behind that I’m simply choking out here in the weeds. It was an interesting couple…

Moses Supposes a Rose is a Rose is a Rose.
I’ve had a lot more visitors here than usual. While I hoped they came by to check out my chapbook (which is now available for pre-order…) (HA!), based on their Google searches, they arrive in search of Gene Kelly. At first I was distracted, wondering what it is I’m missing out on, that suddenly so…

Now Available for Pre-Order!
I’ve created a new page for all things Hunger All Inside: click the link up there on the toolbar, or just click here. I am so excited & grateful & can’t quite believe that in a few short months my poems will be in your hands, yes, your hands! If you please. I hope. Hooray!

Good Advice.
Mea culpa for the blog silence. I’m enduring a computer crisis, as well as preparing for the imminent prepublication sale of my chapbook (hooray!) — not a good time for my laptop to shuffle off this mortal coil. Anyway, whilst I deal with that, I just had to share this quote my husband clipped out…

Countdown to NaPoWriMo.
March is now more than halfway through — NaPoWriMo will be here in a mere 13 days! I’m a little light-headed just thinking about it. Last year, with one child & a full-time job, I managed 12 days / 12 poems before I petered out. Of those 12 poems, 11 were keepers (and 10 will…

Lea Banks, All of Me: The Launch!
Tonight was the official launch of my dear friend Lea’s debut chapbook, All of Me, published by Shelburne Falls’ own Booksmyth Press, a.k.a. that one-woman phenom, Maureen Moore. (And isn’t that cover art, Daphne, by Lilliana Pereira, just amazing?) We were early, so Vincent & Lance ended up departing for the short walk home before…

Enough to break a poor mother’s heart.
It’s taken me a few days to process, deal, & forgive, but the story is this: I came home from work on Sunday to find that my darling husband had given our precious son a haircut. And not just any haircut, but….a mullet! He cut my precious baby boy’s soft blond curls & transformed him…
