The Piker Press publishes “Three Dreamers”

Leave a comment

I am so pleased to see a trio of my poems appear today over in the pages of The Piker Press.  The set of three is entitled “Three Dreamers,” and the poems are as follows: “The Writer,” “The Secretary” and “The Bureaucrat.”

You can find them right here.

I wrote “Three Dreamers” very early in my career as a poet, and they were meant as a sort of creative experiment.  I wanted to see whether I could characterize three different fictional characters who have relationships with one another.  (The people portrayed here were imagined as office co-workers.)

Thanks once again to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to share my voice at The Piker Press!

The (Renovated) Arena Stage.

Leave a comment

So this is the Arena Stage in Washington D.C., these days. I saw a play there as a college student in 1994 or so.  (There was  a major renovation and expansion project since my days at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, Virginia.)

I don’t even remember which production we saw, to be honest with you.  (I’m pretty sure it was Shakespeare.)  But I remember that the trip seemed exciting.  Fredericksburg really was just a mid-sized town back in the 1990’s.   Going into Washington D.C. at night with about 100 other theater students to see a live production felt like a pretty big deal.

And the trip and the show were a blast.
