| Book Launch Party, 2011 |
Usually my mind will follow instructions, working off waves of energy or enthusiasm that I generate, but I've had a hard time recently. I'm trying to catch up and also finish too many projects.
I had thought to finish revisions of the risk detective book this week, during spring break. I'm done with most of the changes, but stuck on the new chapter, "At School." I am struggling to tell stories rather than sound prescriptive or paranoid over risks that present themselves once your child starts school. Lots of rewrites as I mull the best stories to tell to make the point(s).
Of asphodel, that greeny flower,
I come, my sweet,
to sing to you!
My heart rouses
thinking to bring you news
of something
that concerns you
and concerns many men. Look at
what passes for the new.
You will not find it there but in
despised poems.
It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there.
Hear me out
for I too am concerned
and every man
who wants to die at peace in his bed
besides. - See more at: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15541#sthash.SQ23lBEg.dpuf
