An early, but not unwelcome, arrival. I haven’t had time this past summer for many of the literary endeavors that I strive for and enjoy, but autumn may give me a chance to read and write about The Best American Poetry 2010′s selections (as Chris and I did in last year’s BAP09 project).

  • I've spent two hours working out some rhymes. Now hoping that I didn't waste my times. #
  • Not much rhymes with "duologue", and it's still two hours before I can take a skate break. #
  • Yes, ABE Books, you /can/ have $55 for 4 1st/1st copies I've had on my list for a year… #
  • Early skate break to AF to learn to carve that bowl. #
  • Logged another 2 hours on couplet rhymes. Rewrote half of 1st stanza. Still need half of the 3rd. Ignoring the 4th and final. #amwriting #
  • I wrestle with meter and rhyme not in hopes of winning the match, but in gaining from the strengths and weaknesses of my opponents. #
  • @poetrynews You misled me. in reply to poetrynews #
  • Finished a short story that's turned out a bit Chandler-esque. Pure fiction that sounds dangerously like autobiography. #
  • Too enamored by the act of literary creation; quite different from the practice of writing. #
