Spinning Jannie: A Writing Crime
http://spinnngjannie.blogspot.com/2010/07/writing-crime.html
A Poem is Never Finished, Only Abandoned. - Paul Valery. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Never before have I been so aware of the demand for writers: websites seek "content creators," companies want faux bloggers to tout their products and services, online directories seek low-paid scouts to fact-check, write reports and take photos of businesses to make their sites popular (to benefit their advertisers no doubt). And, yes, I've fallen into the trap to some extent, glad that anyone wants to publish my work.

Spinning Jannie: 170 to 99
http://spinnngjannie.blogspot.com/2009/07/170-to-99.html
A Poem is Never Finished, Only Abandoned. - Paul Valery. Monday, July 13, 2009. Manuscript pages reduced by that many in two winnowings. Poetry writing is so different than the process of book creation where critical judgment dominates the impulsive moods of the madwoman. In the writing of a poem, I experience complete and almost aggressive freedom. I can go anywhere with my imagination, I can juxtapose any image, I can even make up words. By Louise Gluck, The Angel of History. By Galway Kinnell, Ariel.

Spinning Jannie: Moving On
http://spinnngjannie.blogspot.com/2009/10/moving-on.html
A Poem is Never Finished, Only Abandoned. - Paul Valery. Wednesday, October 21, 2009. Move date is set and movers hired: November 2. What we leave behind: a lot of recycled papers, superfluous kitchenwares, battered and abused electronics. What we take: our books, our cats, our small comforts. It's now or when I'm much older that I must dispense with so much of life's little extras, and, my, how they compound! Photos: two views, from the window of one house to the window of the new one. Poems of Labor an...

Spinning Jannie: French Fried: Giving Arthur Rimbaud A Second Dip
http://spinnngjannie.blogspot.com/2009/02/french-fried-giving-arthur-rimbaud.html
A Poem is Never Finished, Only Abandoned. - Paul Valery. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. French Fried: Giving Arthur Rimbaud A Second Dip. I first tried to read French symbolist/surrealist poet Arthur Rimbaud in my early 20s when I was closer in age to the age he wrote "A Season in Hell," "The Drunken Boat," "Illuminations," and other poems, and at that time I struggled to comprehend Rimbaud's verse (read in English translations).

Spinning Jannie: Historicity
http://spinnngjannie.blogspot.com/2010/03/historicity.html
A Poem is Never Finished, Only Abandoned. - Paul Valery. Sunday, March 28, 2010. It’s somewhat a legacy of the Beats and the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s - both youth-worshipping cultures - that reverence for forbears and respect for history were undermined in favor of the code of “living in the moment,” defying authority, and writing spontaneously from the hip. To some extent, we are still in that zeitgeist. One of the best books I’ve recently read is Berkeley poet. California’s first p...
