On Saturday, I took a long detour home because it was beautiful out and saw a hawk perched on top of Carmichael. I looked down for a second to get the camera on my phone ready, but it had disappeared.

Nothing that stood out this week.

It seems odd that during the one week we really focused on lyrical poetry I did not experience any particular moments that struck me, at least enough to inspire poetic […]

I love your drawings, they look like wire sculptures! I agree that abandoning familiarity seems really appealing because it would free up so much more room for the new, but I also think that being 100% empty or […]
