One of my former college professors. Reading at Houston's Indie Book Fest.

 

After updating him on my happenings, I asked him how teaching undergraduates life went and he said:

"There's a whole new generation coming in..."

"I feel old!" I told him.

"Imagine how I feel," he said.

I never stopped to think how teaching might change for creative writing professors. They get a batch of new world views, philosophies, complaints, every few years. I'd think that would keep him young. Maybe it's just irritating, haha.

Welcome Smudge! :) What a handsome big boy, Smudge is brimming with confidence. The rattie girls are totally smitten! ;)

Chapbook Publication Party and Reading

Playwright Craig Lucas (Prelude to a Kiss, Longtime Companion, The Light in the Piazza) – November 18, 2009

The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

[Rolling it back and forth inside my hand

Pretending a sound mind that I don’t feel

Watching my fingers as they play and bend

Sensing the gripping of my thoughts of steel]

 

A marble is my brain. Sometimes I lack

The tight firm grip. And it would roll and fall

While I sit still. I cannot have it back.

I sit and I pretend. I try to call

 

The glossy marble – that untrue gemstone –

Inviting it to rest inside my skull,

A perfect fitting made of hollow bone.

My brain, bouncing around, is dusty and dull.

 

I keep it in my hand, and roll it to and fro

I clean it and I hope it fits. The glass is bright, aglow.

 

(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
