Well, we are all safely back in Huntington. Rachael is off to her usual frenetic start at Marshall while I prepare for the quarter and for submitting my final tenure folder in October. Manitou was a blast this summer. We had an almost entirely new staff in the Music program. I still had David and Brian but we added four new staff members and all of them contributed beautifully.
Darius was incredible, singing and playing keyboards on Sunshine of Your Love, Gimme Some Lovin, Mr. Brightside, and Rock you Like a Hurricane. Look for a youtube link to the end of the year performance soon.
West Virginia was, blessedly, spared any effects of the hurricane that slammed into the east coast.
Lookout for new poems appearing in current and future issues of Prairie Schooner, Grist, and Jelly Bucket.
An essay, “Please Take What You Want” is also in the current issue of Jelly Bucket.
A new scholarly article on the work of Minnie Bruce Pratt will soon be appearing in Texas Studies in Literature and Language
And another article on the use of non-linear and disjunctive prose style in Creative Nonfiction is out at Quarter After Eight.
Also, if you haven’t already, check out one or both of the anthologies in which my work has recently appeared
View from the Bed, View From the Bedside from Wising Up Press and
Mammas and Pappas: on the Sublime and Heartbreaking Art of Parenting from City Works.
