Stories. True, Fiction and Otherwise. Book Review: The White Woman on the Green Bicycle. March 9, 2015. It’s a woman’s curse to love bad and foolish men, even when they fuck up miserably. So says Sabine Harwood, the white woman of the title in Monique Roffey’s exciting political-historical novel The White Woman on the Green Bicycle. Her curt words sum up her decades-long experiences in post-colonial Trinidad, the setting of the novel. In a 2010 interview. The White Woman on the Green Bicycle. You are com...

Tales from Angel Valley Farm. January 21, 2013. And So it Goes. Posted by angelvalleyfarm under agriculture. Shutting down the farm. Turns out I was kind of clairvoyant in choosing broccoli out of all the vegetables we would eventually grow. As we got to know our farm better, we discovered there are some crops perennially difficult for us — legumes, in particular, because of our soil’s high alkalinity — and others that almost always do well. Broccoli is one of those crops. Now, can I? Something John and ...

The Dream | Ethan Yarbrough Writes
https://ethanyarbroughwrites.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/norbet-plans-the-heartbreak
Stories. True, Fiction and Otherwise. January 12, 2015. The man’s son is 11 and dreams about a puppy. He tells the man about his dream one morning. The man is drinking coffee before work, paging through a magazine. He pauses on the perfume ads and traces beautiful people with his eyes. His hair sticks up and his stubbled beard is gray. But then I wake up and I realize it was just a dream and I say ‘Oh’, and I just have to get up like every other day. This entry was posted in Creative Writing. Mr Rogers H...

Stories. True, Fiction and Otherwise. The Games Are the Same, I Have Changed. March 23, 2015. This is the very gym in which I soared to basketball mediocrity in the 1980s. If you like college basketball, you go mad for the excitement of this time of year. If you don’t like college basketball, you look at those of us who go mad this time of year like we are mad. Maybe I’m on my way to being a cranky old man, though I will point out I have not yet used the phrase “In my day…”. B...Enter your comment here.

Stories. True, Fiction and Otherwise. I am building a collection of short stories and I’ve been working on a novel. That does not make me unique, but I thought you should know. Most days you’ll see me with my notebook and pen at one coffee shop or another. As I publish, I will add to this list. 8211; A Kindle Single on Amazon.com. He couldn’t remember which. Certainly self-indulgent and a little drunk. He was both of those right now. The postcard review of {mini} poetry and prose. I turn and see he’s hol...

We were to check his coat pockets, his briefcase, the glove box in his car, his sock drawer, the bedside table. If we found packs there or anywhere else, it was our job to tear them apart and consign them to the toilet. I’m still smoking, Dad said. Puff puff. Put that damn old cigarette out, we said again. He di...

Stories. True, Fiction and Otherwise. Monthly Archives: July 2014. My Agreement with My Mind. July 8, 2014. One day my mind came to me and asked if we could talk. I hate when people ask if we can talk. Nothing good ever follows that question. But my mind looked worried and I do care about him. So I said, “Sure. What’s up? My mind wrung his hands. He looked at the floor. He started organizing things on my desk. “OK,” he said. “You know I love working here.”. Here it comes, I thought. 8221; I said. It was ...
