Through much of the impressionable identity forming ages 8-18, I walked and slept outdoors in the North Florida pine scrub bayou Gulf ecology--the place has informed this psyche this body's rhythms and listens and profoundly.

But here's a poem for you on this holiday of love, that surge doth move us all:LOVE SONG by Rainer Maria RilkeHow can I keep my soul in me, so thatit doesn't touch your soul?

Tribute poem to Leslie Scalapino over at Delirious Hem. I composed this tribute piece by using 'Deep Sea Plumes' 'Loop Current' and 'Spill' toread through an excerpt of Scalapino's poem 'that they were at the beach'.

One reader of Poets for Living Waters asked: What is a ‘poetry action’? Or a ‘reading action’? He went on to suggest that poetry is a failure to act. Many folks may be wondering the same thing, so I thought I'd post a reply...The phrases ‘reading action’ and ‘poetry action’ have been specifically created to point awareness toward the fact that self expression, listening, and independently

Sad when my 3 year old pronounced "Lions live in cages." Do they live in cages? Gregory Bateson says "the unit of survival is a flexible organism-in-its-environment". Bateson's definition of unit means that the lion in the cage is not a full unit. The caged 'lion' is not whole but part. The whole of her includes the bloods and sweats, the squeals and howls and peeps, the airs and flits and

Did I tell you J and I went to see Seamus Heaney read as part of the country's celebration in honour of his 70th birthday hosted by the National Concert Hall? Well, we did! And 'twas lovely. We had fab seats, about five rows back two or three seats to his right. The concert hall has 360 degree seating, and he read a few poems to those behind. He selected many love poems--to his mother, his father

Reading went brilliantly! Room packed. Each person's work their own. So great to hear the work aloud and see these talented writers own their work. And and all that had gone into the writing since we'd all last seen it. The readers are amazing folks, generous readers, committed and imaginative writers and and and! The experience was truly one of the top experiences I've had in a long time. Here

Just read the recent Salon article about Rebecca and Alice Walker. The author, Philis Chesler has this to say:"Rebecca conflates feminist views of motherhood (as she perceives them to be) with her own personal experience of Alice's choice or inability to mother in a traditional way. In her interview, Rebecca admits that she prefers her white, Jewish father's second wife, Judy, who bore five

Few weeks back went to a poetry book launch for Dedalus Press, a big Irish poetry imprint. Packed house. All ages. Two books, two readers. Had the wee one in tow and by the toe, so missed a bit much. Tho' she was so good really. The only babe there. She was quiet. Nursed. Played quietly behind a partition while the reading continued. That said, not really looking to repeat the situation too

First, the growing into motherhood slowly swamps the mind. Chemicals, hormones, awash with the hymn. Studies have shown that parenthood changes the brain's structure, in this case making the auditory areas more sensitive, particulary to distress calls. but how or do the chemical changes impact writing? Do they impact aesthetic sensibility, for example? Do the chemical changes impact the

A friend of mine, novelist Phil LaMarche, recently asked me about my experience of writing as a parent. And poet Josh Corey , who is soon to be a Da, has been blogging about his own questions concerning parenthood, and, in particular, about writing as a parent. So this blogger thought she ought to dedicate some blog space to thinking about how it's going as mother and poet. For one thing, this

Hey bloggerissimo! This blogger has a review of Welsh poet Peter Finch's book The Welsh Poems in the latest Chicago Review: The British Poetry Issue. But an even better reason to get the issue is the pull-out pin-up charting styles of British poetry from 1945-2000, and the loads of related essays inside. And features of British poets writing political lyrics. If you've wanted to become acquainted
