This is lovely. I think I'll share it at FB. And thanks for the friend request.
Wendy Babiak commented on the blog post 'In Honor of 8000: Shout Out A She Writer Today'
Shout out to JoAnn Balingit, poet laureate of Delaware and author of Your Heart and How it Works.

Julie, the agent reaction made me laugh. Whenever someone tells me something can't be done with writing, I think, "Watch me."
Learning to feel comfortable with self-promotion; set up an FB fan page & profile, Twitter account last night. Weird.

Yikes. That sounds harder than proofing poetry! Good luck with your deadline.

Yes, right now I'm editing (and detesting commas.) April 1 is a deadline for me, so I think after that I'll be able to relax, in a way. At least not flounder around inside the narrative of a book I've read a hundred times. I…

Thanks for the friend request, Phoebe, and the congrats. Exciting times, as I'm sure you know.
She's Got Blurbs!
My first book of poems is coming out in a couple of weeks with Plain View Press; it'll be on their table at AWP. I thought I'd start my She Writes blog with the blurbage being printed on the back cover. Thanks again to Tim, Ana and Amy. I especially like Ana's recognition that my poetics are "deeply feminine," which Amy also gives a nod to with the bit about me wiping down landscapes. My perspective is one of a housewife and mother…See More

- Yes, right now I'm editing (and detesting commas.) April 1 is a deadline for me, so I think after that I'll be able to relax, in a way. At least not flounder around inside the narrative of a book I've read a hundred times. I don't care how good a book is. Once you've read it a hundred times, and the hundred-and-first time is to interrogate every comma you see, the love starts to cool a little!

Lori Duffy Foster said… - If you don't mind me asking, what part of the North Country are you in? We're moving back east in the fall to an area just southwest of Ithaca on the NY/PA border.. I'll be glad to be close enough to at least take the kids up to the Adirondacks for a week or so at a time and maybe catch Winter Carnival.

Erika said… - as for the question you are posing 'what feminist poetry' means...I dunno, still working on that one. Some feminist poetry leaves much to be considered as to how it defines itself as feminist...then again, there may be as many definitions of 'feminist' as there are sands in the desert...

- :) Thank you. I was talking to one of my committee members yesterday about how, I read many a political thinker who just regurgitates what Plato has written, which is disappointing when I'm looking for a better idea, and an ideal that is feasible. Christian discourse, contemporary critics of imperialism...borrow from the model he has used in Republic. His ideal, funny enough, demonstrates his lack of faith in humanity, as he argues for how humans should best exist.

Nancy Hatamiya said… - Hi Wendy:
Mine are in school again, too. Busy week--I drop Jon off in Monterey (about 3 hours each way) for rehearsals, go to LA for our California Council for the Humanities Board, back home and to attend the Monterey Jazz Festival. Jon performs on Sunday afternoon with Wynton Marsalis as their special guest. Maybe I'll write some jazz inspired poems when I return!

- Hi Wendy, Thanks for getting in touch. Let us know when your book is out! How's the Louisiana poetry scene?
Warm Wishes, JoAnn

How John Cusack ruined Valentine's Day for Me.
Jeannette LeSure commented on the blog post 'How to Write Memoir? 1. Forget Writing Prompts and Exercises 2. Stake Out Your Territory'
While I agree that we can get carried away and even use prompts and exercises as effective avoidance techniques to tell ourselves, well, we ARE writing something, I found two books and a couple of classes to be enormously helpful in getting me going…

This is so beautiful. Thank you for your generous spirit and for sharing it. I am slowly working on a memoir that has been "near finished" for two years. I'm struggling not to let writing be "the first to go," when life gets…
