Patti McCarty replied to the discussion 'Documentary Poems, the future of Poetry?' in the group Poets on She Writes
Btw, I'd be curious to know whether the poem was written first or whether it's ekphrastic, inspired by the photographs taken.
Patti McCarty commented on the blog post 'On Writing and Youthful Promise'
I tell people that I started writing as a result of a midlife crisis and that I wish I'd have had that crisis when I was 20 instead of 40 except by extension that would mean I'd probably be dead by now, lol. Don't be discouraged by…

Patti McCarty commented on the blog post 'On Mother Guilt...'
I appreciate your honesty, Hollye. I was a screamer, too (sadly) when pushed over the edge on occasion. Both kids are now grown (one is married) and they've made it. I think as long as children know, really know in their hearts that…

I'd not read this one before and appreciate your posting it. I can see why it is a favorite! I've been feeling quite restless lately, and so this quote was very timely. I agree with Phoebe that "sometimes an artist can be perfectly…

Hi Suzanne :) Thanks for the wine, cheese, and poetry! I wouldn't call myself fabulous, but I did order your book, though I forgot to click the "wants it signed" part (which I do :). We have a mutual friend, I believe, Colleen from…

Jeannette LeSure commented on the blog post 'I could only write my memoir…After my mother had died'

Jeannette LeSure commented on the blog post 'How to Write Memoir? 1. Forget Writing Prompts and Exercises 2. Stake Out Your Territory'
