A handful of poems I've written over the years make my all-time favorites list. "The Ins and Outs of Weird" is one of them. Thanks to Ruslan Garrey and Dustin King for giving it a home in their excellent publication, Sublunary Review. www.sublunaryreview.com/home/ins-and...

Thirty-three years ago tonight, I arrived in Seattle, fresh off a bout of homelessness and traveling the West Coast with friends. My first night here was in the Green Tortoise Hostel (in Queen Anne). I went the next day to live with a friend at the swanky Kahala Apts in Capitol Hill.

Is someone putting fake flowers out around the neighborhood. It's way too late in the season for these to look this perfect. And what's up with the crocus? They're not due for another seven months.

Today was a trip out to Magnuson Park! At 350 acres it is the second-largest park in Seattle. It's also blackberry heaven!

Much of my Summer is spent rotating through Seattle's various wooded areas. It was back to Interlaken today.

Walked to Streissguth Gardens this evening to check up on the Hollyhocks. Didn't expect to be eating Blackberries off of the bush this soon.

Saddened by the news of Louise Lasser's death, and sickened by this vile headline.

"...a gorgeous, aching, profound novel about AIDS, art, grief, time, memory, sex, desire, and love. The spell of Charlie Porter's language, the mesmerizing flow and rhythms of his sentences, transported me into an intimate dream space that I didn't want to leave." —Carter Sickels
