Live-Blogging Le Grande Experiment!
I don’t speak French, so I don’t know what the equivalent of experiment is (Exupéry?) and you’ll simply have to imagine me saying the above title in a bad French accent, as though you are watching a B-movie which, at … Continue reading
Everyone Has a Summer They Want to Remember
Though, for this animal, it is probably not this summer, unless it wants simply to remember (i.e. be alive) (which it probably is not). Wyoming is so empty, but it is not the emptiness of the desert or of the … Continue reading

On Opening Presents Like a Skin of Snow
I’m thinking about leavings, but since I already have a poem titled “On Leavings”, I felt it’d be bad form to use that title as the title for this post. After all, once that poem’s been published, awarded, and anthologized … Continue reading
On Blogging Other Countries
Those of you in the know know that I spent two months and some odd days in Kraków, Poland over the 2007/2008 winter. If you knew that at the time I was there, then you might have stopped by this … Continue reading

On Transience and Transients
I’ve lived in Houston now for eight years, and it will soon be the longest I’ve lived anywhere. The only other place that compares is Yorktown, Virginia, which is the closest I have to a hometown and where I lived … Continue reading
On Conferences and Endings
