To cheer me up during a somewhat solemn period, I was blessed to have a companion accompany me yesterday to #poembomb New York City. This entailed copying some book pages and scampering around Manhattan to share some of the words that have held my bones together over the years. We swooped through subway stations; around the east and west village; down to Tribeca and back uptown. I've ranted in the past that being heard is more enticing than...
It occurred to me today while I was desperately seeking my next Writer gig while simultaneously throwing up in my mouth - I've really come full circle.

I'm edgy and excited over where I'll end up when the next job arrives. Also, I think about my book until it keeps me up at night. The environment around me remains stunning. I've experienced autumn at least three times, traveling up and down the north-east...
