The glass crunching underfoot is something of a mystery, as though city workers had broken all the globes in the street lights just to change the bulbs. I’m participating in the River of Stones project in January. Look for a new post each day. Click the badge at left for more details.

A Writer’s Notebook: Spoken word video
A video is a strange thing to include in a Writer’s Notebook, at least in the sense that I couldn’t have written this in my little brown notebook with the unlined paper. But the purpose of the online Notebook is simply to create, and I’ll use whatever medium works. So bear with me, and I’llContinue reading “A Writer’s Notebook: Spoken word video”

My wife fell behind while walking in the mall, and when I turned to find her she told me, “I tripped on the in-between.” (This is a true story.) I’m participating in the River of Stones project in January. Look for a new post each day. Click the badge at left for more details.

And we’re live (again)*
Are we re-alive? Re-animated? A zombie?

Only cleaner, with better organization. My website has matured. And taken a shower and combed its hair.Continue reading “And we’re live (again)*”

Just a quick post just for those who subscribe to the blog (since you soon won’t be able to see this post online): I’m shutting down the site for the big upgrade. I should go live again in a few hours, but I want to let people know what happened to the site.

On the stage sat three men: Dez Skinn, the British comics editor who founded Warrior magazine and helped launch the careers of Dave Gibbons, David Lloyd, Alan Moore, and Grant Morrison. Charles Kochman, an American graphic novel editor who championed Diary ofContinue reading “Small stone #25”
New poetry from Corey Marks
A former professor of mine, poet Corey Marks, has just won the 2011 Green Rose Prize from New Issues Press. The award honors a new collection by a poet with at least one other book in print (Corey’s previous collection, Renunciation, remains on my shortlist of favorite poetry collections–it’s breathtaking work), and the winning manuscriptContinue reading “New poetry from Corey Marks”

The new tarps have skinned the rooftop next door to protect against the rare winter rains: a carnival of orange and white over concrete and corrugated tin, the plastic pinned flat with abandoned luggage, broken tv sets, upturned chairs, strips of splintering lumber. I’m participating in the River of Stones project in January. Look forContinue reading “Small stone #24”

In all the buzz and drone of mingling diplomats and embassy guests, all I can focus on is the shimmering jellyfish of water umbrellaing out from the fountain head, the lights underwater nestled so comfortably among the black pond rocks. I’m participating in the River of Stones project in January. Look for a new postContinue reading “Small stone #23”
