I’ve got flash fiction “Stuck” in this fine journal. Check it out. Also, I’m interviewed on Pod—ette. I’m speaking slightly too fast but I say where the story came from and how I’m writing into this political time.

I’m in Milan, about to start a group trip to Lake Como for a plein air watercolor class. This sky gives me hope for the week since every day all day rain is forecasted, and today the weather app indicates 100% rain. I may yet be able to use that half pan of cerulean. #pitturaadacquarello #bluesky

You could say I’m flying high to have my flash nonfiction “Evening Flight” published at Airplane Reading. It started its literary life as a pantoum, but grew out of that dress. #airplane #microessay #art airplanereading.org/story/5141/e...

We are flying north, near six o’clock. I’ve got a window seat behind the angled wing. On the open fold table is my tiny cold press notebook the size of a small shower tile. Near six o’clock, a hazy ye...

RIP Roberta Flack. Her most famous songs light up areas of my young childhood because my mom would play that record on repeat, singing along to parts of it.

“He drove/and I rode, leaning with each turn and jerking above/each rutted groove” and We saw them in moments/that flew” “sitting in our own boxes/of wonder or ennui”. So many good lines in Anne’s superb poem.

On the way to Manhattan this morning, I glanced at the book the man seated next to me was reading, and it was the same book that two and a half hours later, the man seated opposite me on the train to Brooklyn would be reading. Feels like a recommendation.

I walked along the river from the Tarrytown train station to the one at Philipse Manor—the latter’s depot being the home of The Hudson Valley Writers Center. I think I should ride up here more frequently simply to walk by this #SleepyHollowLighthouse.
