I read and write poetry, love books and art. Small town lefty. That's my late llama Accie in the picture. Spouse, parent, gardener, retired community college English teacher.

When the Nobel Prize for Literature is announced, I have one of two responses. Either it's someone I have not heard of, in which case I learn about a great new writer, or else I think, "Oh, well deserved." Anne Carson--well deserved.

Every year, unawares, we pass the date of his death. We live through it as an ordinary day, not knowing what a great festival echoes back upon us from the future. Celebrate every day as though it were the day.

As I used to tell my students: when you've said everything you have to say, stop writing. Alternatively, claim a person from Porlock interrupted you.
