This blog has now been abandoned. In 1963, a sixteen-year-old San Diego high school student named Bruce McAllister sent a four-question mimeographed survey to 150 well-known authors of literary, commercial, and science fiction. Did they consciously plant symbols in their work? When this happened, did the authors mind? Series found in the local library.

I always thought paradise would be a kind of library. I wrote last about Tiny, Beautiful Things. Her own struggles and creating meaning from life rather than just allowing life to happen to her. Moments from my Riverside walk. Strayed quotes so many of my literary heroes, including Mary Oliver.

Panel Thanks to all of you at Northeastern Illinois University and especially Alicia Erian for organizing! Nicole Georges, Phoebe Gloeckner, Hillary Chute, AK Summers prepping for talk at Northeastern Illinois University. Talk at NEIU with Phoebe Gloeckner, Nicole Georges.

To say life is getting away from me would be an understatement. Every human should be required to read Letters to a Young Poet.

Saturday, August 27, 2011. The Reason for My Hiatus. Friday, November 12, 2010. I took a group of Literature of Photography students to the galleries at 450 Harrison for First Fridays last week. We played with night photography and artificial lighting. I had fun with gels. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. I know you are spying on my blog.
