I have been on a poetry break.
I do read my poem a day e-mails from poets.org and listen to “The Writer’s Almanac” with Garrison Keillor but it’s still a break.
Haven’t been writing poems. Haven’t gone to a reading in a while. I hope to change that soon.
John “Survivor” Blake is back in town. Thinking of going to the Dreamship Community show on Saturday and Rhythmic Cypher on Sunday. Wish I had more funds. Also want to do the artwalk for First Friday.
And I did finish a great book of poetry last night. Patricia Smith’s “Blood Dazzler” about Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans. Great and heartbreaking. ***1/2
So, I think my poetry is returning. It’s part of my life that makes me happy.
