2/11: posting
...the last of the poems for Heron Tree volume 12. There's still the PDF compilation of all the volume 12 poems to put together this summer, but tonight's posting marks the end of an era, since we'll be taking a hiatus from Heron Tree. Though Chris and I both need a break from being publishers, I'm glad we did it. It's something we had wanted to do for a long time, so now no regrets. I also learned a lot, made connections, and re-engaged poetry--things I'm grateful for.
2/10: realizing
...that I needed to explain to the students that a page is not just a conveyer of information: it can be an experience.
2/9: listening
...to Frolic Architecture by Susan Howe and David Grubbs, which I learned about through a friend's Facebook post.
2/8: quiet writing
...this morning. It was a little shorter than usual because I wanted to make time for a walk before lunch, but I managed to write myself into some clarity about an upcoming assignment I need to devise for one class and to begin sketching plans for a new pamphlet (prompted by the Swift vowel riddle poem).
2/7: morning, afternoon, evening
In the morning I wrote valentines. In the afternoon I mailed them and took a walk. In the evening I worked through a stack of grading.
2/5: learning the names
...of the Myth students. Many of them seemed happy when I called on them correctly in class and even supportive when I had to pause for a second to remember who they were.
2/4: a benefit
...of a boring TV show: it helped me fall asleep when I was too wound up to concentrate on bedtime reading.
