"a little bit of quirkiness"
Apr. 27th, 2013 06:44 amI have seen my alter ego, and it is a horse named Spicer Cub:
In the words of his trainer, Mary Eppler, "Obviously the horse has a little bit of quirkiness to him."
My sweetie is running the half-marathon in the rain. I'm in the thick of steering assorted projects across the finish line. A couple that are up:
Online, in the current issue (#8) of Eye to the Telescope, my poem "With Light-Years Come Heaviness."
In print, in the current issue of Star*Line, my sonnet "The Bed I Haven't Made" (with many, many thanks to F.J. Bergmann for helping me solve its metrical issues).
I don't have my copies in hand yet, but I'm newly excited about Underplay/Overdone after seeing photos of a finished book at Medusa's Laugh.
Forthcoming: poems in Inkscrawl, Dreams and Nightmares, UU World, and Lifting the Sky.
(How funny the brain is: earlier this week I was feeling soooo woebegone about how little I have to show for all my hamster-wheeling. Now, of course, looking at this list, I'm like, "Not bad. ... Now go finish some more!")
There's been some time with friends as well (yay!). Last weekend, I went with a group to Keeneland, where I wore my wedding hat and St. Armands (ridden by Rosie Napravnik, who will be featured on 60 Minutes tomorrow) won for me a bit of mad money (which I promptly lost on near-miss superfectas, but that's gambling for you). Tuesday, I spent some time with H & N, which included looking both at 16-year-old pictures of H's 75th birthday celebration and N's favorite anatomy book. Wednesday, I scarfed down a bunch of Joanne's fries at Dino's as we waited for Poetry Sucks to get going. (Being allergic to cigarette smoke, one hour there was all I could manage, but that was long enough to catch Chet Weise reading Thomas Sayers Ellis's All Their Stanzas Look Alike and Josh "The Duke" Gillis's found poems. The latter featured lines from Craigslist's Missed Connections, and thus were introduced with titles such as "Why I Bartend and Love It" [which got a loud "a-HEM" from Rick, opening PBR after PBR] and "Our Daughters Are on the Same Soccer Team").
