WRITING: Using Poetics

Posted on May 1, 2004 by Susan

Posted on May 1, 2004 by Susan

It has become near impossible to be a picture framer, a cook, a laundress, a runner of vacuum cleaning machinery. The convolutions of my brain have filled and puffed out to a bulging flatness that threatens to crack the skull … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING & REALITY?: Uh, Sunday

Posted on April 25, 2004 by Susan

Not eloquence, as last Sunday’s walk and drive produced, but fiction, freefalling from the mind in science fiction genre. Mother first, confirming yes, the deer have eaten from the pot of Johnny-Jump-ups. Busy day up there today, as gardeners tend … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING & REALITY?: A Walk on The First Sunday of Spring

Posted on April 18, 2004 by Susan
