No ideas but in things

I'm the author of the chapbook "Call it a Window" (Midwest Writing Center, 2012). This is a collection of inspirations.

My role in this: writing a prose poem/dramatic monologue for a miner, and puppeteering a beaver.

Things I am doing with my life:

  • Soon I’ll have poems in the BrooklynerCatch-Up, and Nimrod. “Soon” in this context means “at some point before 2013.” Much thanks to Adam and Elsbeth for their patient, patient help with the poems accepted by Nimrod and the Brooklyner. Oh, and Big Bell! Which as far as I can tell, doesn’t have a website.
  • A poem of mine is being performed by puppets in two weeks. More info here or at the facebook invite here.  
  • Another poem of mine is being performed the weekend after, this time by trained actors instead of puppets. More info here or again on facebook.

Oh, and the semester starts tomorrow. I’ve been working more than full-time on poems; maybe being in the classroom will be a welcome break from being in my own head?
