Got a copy of the magazine from the publisher yesterday. My story is the one circled in red (I did the circling; it doesn't appear on the actual cover :-)). See Blatherings.
I have always LOVED pens so I just had to buy this 84-set "Gel-Writer" pens from Costco yesterday. AC had noticed it and right away, we both fell in love with the set. She likes to doodle and I like them just to have when I write cards, etc. This 84 set of gel pens sells for $16.99 . . not bad considering the pens alone sells for $1.50 or more. So far the ink quality is great . . . we had to try them out as soon as we got home. :-)
inside Eleven homes
The series Eleven is a collection of images documenting the interiors of
Frank Relle’s immediate families’ homes. Below is an excerpt from Frank’s
interview with writer Patrick Strange.
Relle’s current creations reveal bare portraits of interior spaces-often eye-level
accounts of everyday household objects and furniture. Like an inventory of life’s
generic commodities, many of the new images border on the mundane, centering
on such items like Norman Rockwell-screened throw pillows, dirty oven mitts, a
set of kitchen knives, a stack of paperback books, an over-sized plastic coin bank
shaped as a Budweiser bottle. At first, the images seem unremarkable, but as one
follows the pathways of Relle’s wandering eye, a pattern begins to emerge. These
photographs are not just a catalogue of materials, but attest to the fragile lives of
those who possess them and-in the regional context of southern Louisiana—they
suggest the nature of things that can so quickly be lost.
“After the scare of Hurricane Gustav, I started thinking, ‘Why the hell do we
keep doing this?’” Relle says. “And I realized that it was because of family.
My connection to New Orleans is more than habit, it’s because my family is here.
So, I started to ask myself what that really means—what it means to build a life that
can be washed away.”
Thus, Relle’s inquisitions have led him to the countertops and bedposts of his
childhood, and forced him to reconsider the worth of objects that have been
present from his earliest memories.
“It becomes a question of why the objects in our daily lives are important and
why they are glorified,” Relle says. “Is it because they are glorious before they are
destroyed, or is it only in the drama of loss that they are glorified? All I can do is
keep asking.”
Such questions may never be answered, but that doesn’t seem to keep Relle from
pondering the meaning of that which surrounds him. And as long as he continues
to investigate the objects and spaces that populate our lives-no matter the method
or the final result-those inanimate things will only continue to reveal secrets about
our inner selves.
Is it only in the drama of loss that the objects
of our daily lives are glorified?

Eileen Myles is a poet and writer who was born in Boston and later moved to New York City in 1975 to pursue her career as a poet. She was deeply involved with the St. Mark's Poetry Project, where she studied with poets Alice Notley and Ted Berrigan among others and later served as the Project's artistic director. She is a professor emeritus at UC San Diego where she founded and taught and directed the writing program, and founded an MFA degree program. In 2012 she was the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship to complete experimental memoir 'Afterglow.' She has published many books of poetry and experimental fiction, most recently 'Snowflake/different streets' (2012) and 'Inferno' (a poet's novel) (2010). Myles's work is known for its deceptively direct and straightforward language that often contains biographical details, as notably in 'Inferno' and "An American Poem" from 'Not Me' (1991). But Myles's short lines and first person perspective lead her readers down complex, emotional paths that weave through different memories, time periods and city streets -- sometimes literally, as with her poems composed while sitting in LA traffic in 'Snowflake.'

Farah was educated in Ethiopia and at the colonial-era Institutio Magistrale in Mogadishu. Although his primary languages were Somali, Amharic, and Arabic, he also learned English and some Italian. His decision to write in English, chiefly a matter of the typewriter available to him, eventually gave him an international audience.
