This!!!! THIS!!!! FINALLY!! “Alonso to Ferdinand!!”

This is my number one favorite poem of all time!! It is a section of W. H. Auden’s “The Sea and the Mirror” that is next to impossible to find online.

I am not sure why it is so rarely found on the internet, but this site made my day.

Just autographed another copy of my book.

Sci-fi fans are the nicest, funniest people!

Fire! FIRE!!!

My friend Josh wrote this.  I think it’s frikkin’ brilliant.

 

Roses are red,
Violets are red,
Your garden is red,
I like fire.

Great news about Mary Washington College’s amphitheater!!!

If memory serves, this was the site of my first stage performance at Mary Washington College.  I played multiple roles in Edgar Lee Masters’ “Spoon River Anthology” as a college freshman.  The term “amateurish” was probably too kind to describe my performance.

“The Anatomy of an Adventure”

My new friend Erik Hormlund is a terrific young writer. He has an honest, clear voice, and brings a strong sense of introspection to what he writes. I just got finished perusing his excellent new blog, “The Anatomy of an Adventure.”

Those Poe kids …

From a friend: Poe Middle School in Annandale, Virginia!!!

As if middle school weren’t depressing enough.

So what happened?!!? Did they let the Goth kids name the school?
