Heavy notes in heavy
boats of sound
Movement, both too much
and too little
too rocky too brittle
singing just a little
All trains no stops
just voices no boasting
Strange requests
too forceful
too exciting
too much shaking
I am jittery
Nothing more to
Say but “Ok let’s
do it”
Shaking in the past
Now settling slowly
and suddenly dropping
and drifting and
drifting through
sand and air
stuck without a stick
Now more now
more sullen oh
depth of perplexity
oh vast specters of
width and shrill
with painful contortion
who sings but the
singer and who
writes but him who
sounds the notes that
all sing together
and all alone
Why the sound
why the movement
yet stillness and
quiet inside and out
all around
Continuously producing
not products but value
I am the valuation
I am the sign and I
speak both too much
and too little and
the lines are short
because the pages
are narrow and beauty
beauty is hollow and
I rest inside of it
sitting leaning cleaning
myself as I watch
how it all happens
It all happens so
slowly but quick
nevertheless and I
am lost in the
sound of time
with the timeless
pulse of language
stringing words together
intimately words with
words and you with
me and others and
I with others deeply
but hollow sharing
sounds and kindness
Now fast and vast
the nasty chime of
broken worn-out strings
and worn-out and
warm hearts
May I sit there
or should I stand
and will you kneel
for me that is
the question is vast
and perturbing and
what I want as
I sway and shake
and tremble
trembling will you
tremble with me
or will I tremble for
you and you will
tremble for me
by yourself but not
for yourself and
why was that the
wrong response yet
it continues so loudly
and proudly how
do I partake
how do I participate
And why so much
more and more and
the tracks are being
rolled out further as
if they didn’t want to end
at all but had to
eventually like a note
that sounds but knows
it will come to rest
with the rest in the
heart why lover and
child can’t you hear
how sad this all is
sad and beautiful do you
want it would you
say “Let’s do it!”
Sing with me before
I die and we die
and I must sing and
cry because singing
is not enough
And the words flow
as the music unfolds
folds contracts and
folds into the contours
of your face the
face of God the
savior where we
wait and rest and
will you kneel for
me and do I want
you to do I really
really want it even
if it perturbs me
and makes me feel
ashamed

A fake catapult!!! This thing was the coolest thing in the world. Too bad I had a short dress on, otherwise I would have totally climbed into it.

This made our day:
B.C. Bookworld called The Writer's Studio "the hotbed on the rise." They also said Janie Chang, one of our grads, is "making a splash" with her debut novel, Three Souls.
Congratulations, Janie!
"Me, stealing socks? Why telling such a lie?
And why for teeth, I wonder, think of it…
I am the keeper of the washer’s quay.
I preside on the washing: I do not cheat.
When you can’t find the second sock, take care
And blame your laundry habits: ‘ cause they shrink
The socks you think you’re missing. Don’t you dare
To accuse me once again. I’ll make you sink.
The shrinking makes them disappear. I swear
That if you magnify the washer’s drum
You’ll see the tiny socks swim in thin air
In sizes shrunk to fit an infant’s thumb.
And now – you will excuse me – I have important matters:
The drum is throbbing hard. What makes its steel teeth chatter?"
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
