hi everyone who gets updates from my blog: it’s been a bit.

as anyone who knows me personally will know, not only am i not a “digital native,” it’s hard for me to visit for too long too. computering burns me out, and i was (for me) very online there for a while. so, i backed away but am starting to feel able to come back some. not to mention that b/c of a variety of factors (including recently buying a house in my beloved city of milwaukee), we haven’t been out to sna’s regularly for a few months. hoping that will change soon.

but, i’ve been finishing up my new collection of poems, be radiant, with my publisher fernwood press and been drafting a new book on contemplation in our current moment. so stay tuned on that.

i’ll have another post later today or tomorrow for an event i’m co-organizing, but in the meantime, thought i’d throw out there that i recently discovered thru twitter (just can’t call it ‘x’) that i’ve got an author page on paul deane’s website that explains and documents modern alliterative verse. so that’s pretty cool. you can take a look around the site for other alliterative-interested folks if you’re into that kind of thing. 🙂

thanks, paul, for keeping the alliterative lamp burning!
