This is part of a series of quick, mostly unedited, short stories I am planning to do this year. The idea is, I go to a museum, pick a painting or a sculpture or a something, and then quickly write a story while standing or sitting in front of it. Like gesture drawings, but for … Continue reading The Awkwardness of the Snail

Back in 1996 the Academy of American Poets thought it might be nice to celebrate poetry for a … Continue reading When the World is Mudluscious

I forgot to post yesterday and I'm beating myself up about it, but I'm going to double up today and schedule something for the weekend to make up for it. So why did I forget?
