“We are an instrument gifted with many strings, but usually we die without all of them being plucked. This way, we’ll never know what music we were saving. We missed the love, the friendship, the travel, the book, the city capable of vibrating the polyphony hidden within us. We always hit the same note.”
— Julio Ramon Ribeyro (translated from the Spanish)

The nice people at Spillwords Press featured a haiku of mine today; you can find it right here.

I’m honored to share here that three poems of mine have been selected for publication by Lothlorien Poetry Journal: “school shooter,” “The Windy Morning” and “The Rough, Violet Stone.”
Thanks once again to Editor Strider Marcus Jones for allowing me to see my work showcased by this excellent literary magazine!

This was taken at North Carolina’s Outer Banks in 1994. Pictured at right is the indomitable, inimitable, irreplaceable Dave Kline, of Mary Washington College fame. (Yes, his fashion sense was legendary.)
Who is the goofy guy at left? I have no idea.
Anyway, what a trip that was. I’m sure I’m not the only one of my dormmates who remembers it fondly.

If you have any interest at all in the creative mind, then you must check out Wednesday Lee Friday’s fascinating new podcast, Mentally Oddcast. The show launched its inaugural episode tonight with guest Ryan N. Wilcox, a media expert with the University of Michigan. You can find it right here.
The show is great stuff. Wednesday’s goal for her program will be to examine how creative people of all kinds can be influenced by mental illness, addiction, neurodivergence or trauma. Mentally Oddcast is a project of her online horror magazine, Sometimes Hilarious Horror, which you can find right here at Ko-Fi.
Episode one sets the tone and the goals for the podcast series, with Wednesday and her guest discussing topics as diverse as tolerance, toxic fandom, gatekeeping and binge-watching shows. This looks to become an engaging and truly insightful ongoing series; I cheerfully recommend it. 🙂
