I am delighted to announce that my Lifesaving Poems. Series of blog posts is going to become a book. Will be publishing the anthology in June 2015. To put this notion to the test I began copying out poems, in inky longhand, into a plain Moleskine notebook. Sometimes weeks would go by without an entry, only to spur.

A Blog about Poetry, Gardens, Travel, Food, Books, Cats, and Whatnot. A Poem for Whitney Houston. Finally, An Acceptable Explanation of Sex Abuse in the Catholic Church. My Last Time in a Catholic Church. Six Years Old, and Going to Hell. My First Day at Marche.

Causing words about art to exist. As this blog still gets a steady stream of views, it seems worth noting that I now post at resistingtheintelligence. Primarily though not exclusively about poetry. I had observed long since that to give the thought a just and full expression, I must not prematurely utter it. Better not to talk of the matter you are writing out. It was as if you had let the spring snap too soon.

A Journal of Poetry, Fiction, Photography, and Art. Maelstrom Volume 1 Issue 1.

Musings on poetry, language, perception, numbers, food, and anything else that slips through the cracks. Who sponsored and inspired the poem. A Brief History of Babel. To see the rest of the poem, click here. Only 18 poems to go! .

The aim of this project is to acknowledge, with only a modicum. Of the zeal Crane did, the perpetual reciprocity inherent in the relationships between art and society and, through subjective understanding, guide creative force to maintain the collective tower of consciousness with an unmitigated love and dedication to all forms of art. The bell-rope that gathers God at dawn. Dispatches me as though I dropped down the knell.
