Poe-Query: Wracking, see Nerves
http://poe-query.blogspot.com/2011/03/wracking-see-nerves.html
Random thoughts on writing poetry and life in general. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Wracking, see Nerves. I have a project at work that's making me nervous. When I feel nervous about something, I want to avoid it, do something else. This is a good way for me to get other things done, but that elephant (could it be a giraffe? Is still in the room. Most new things make me nervous- certainly anything new. It's the unknown. Clearly, the rewards can outweigh the anxiety. What makes you nervous? Joannie Kervran St...

Poe-Query: October 2010
http://poe-query.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Random thoughts on writing poetry and life in general. Sunday, October 31, 2010. I haven't checked in often, partly because of traveling and cat recovery, and partly because I've been blogging (almost) daily at The Sun Hunters. On to the gratitude. I'm thankful for this gorgeous Sunday, and the way some unexpected sun lights up the trees that are still holding onto their leaves. I'm thankful that I now take the time to enjoy things- at least, some things, like little dots and leaves changing into their n...

Poe-Query: Morning questions
http://poe-query.blogspot.com/2011/03/morning-questions.html
Random thoughts on writing poetry and life in general. Thursday, March 17, 2011. It's 6:45 on the East Coast. Often, in the morning, I finish my journaling, move my thouhts ahead three hours and back a few thousand miles, and I wonder, "What are the East Coast editors doing? Are they getting another cup of coffee? Are they sifting through poems? Are they grading papers, teaching classes, going to meetings? Are they, like me, holding down a day job and looking at submissions on the weekends? Joannie Kervr...

Poe-Query: Gratitude, on a gray Sunday
http://poe-query.blogspot.com/2011/03/gratitude-on-gray-sunday.html
Random thoughts on writing poetry and life in general. Sunday, March 13, 2011. Gratitude, on a gray Sunday. This Gratitude Journal comes with a confession. I confess that I spent the weekend hoping to hear some poetry news (I did receive one rejection), and I felt guilty with all the tragedy in the world right now- the devastation and human loss in Japan, and the ongoing conflict in Libya. And the loss in Wisconsin. Closer to home, and who knows how large that will loom in our future? Her new book, Into ...

Poe-Query: November 2010
http://poe-query.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Random thoughts on writing poetry and life in general. Tuesday, November 30, 2010. I read a lot. But… I'm 50 years old and I still can't study—not effectively, not with efficient retention. It's been an odd week. I've been reading some energizing and inspiring anthologies, including Ecstatic Occasions, Expedient Forms, Lyric Postmodernisms, and now The Verse Book of Interviews. But when I remember something I've read and try to find it, I'm lost. Which leaves me.where? Monday, November 29, 2010. Break It...

Random thoughts on writing poetry and life in general. Sunday, March 6, 2011. Gratitude Journal, with movement (with feeling).

Poe-Query: Gratitude!
http://poe-query.blogspot.com/2011/03/gratitude.html
Random thoughts on writing poetry and life in general. Monday, March 21, 2011. I am always thankful for a Monday, because it's a kind of fresh start. That doesn't mean I love Monday's, per se- but I do love fresh starts. I am thankful for writing and the hummingbirds and chicken dinner tonight. But mostly, I'm thankful for friends and my family.
