Talking Truth to Power

On the day the Iraq Study Group report came out, I feel like there's a new strain in the national dialogue.

1. Al Gore(from Think Progress)

2. Barbara Boxer (from AP)

I could go on. The point is, I feel less insane to hear something akin to reason and accountability returning to the discussion of the mess we're all in.

A poet I heard about and want to read

Two weeks ago, my poetry workshop at All Souls Church ended. Chris Nealon, a professor at UC Berkeley, introduced us to a number of poets during the five-week course.

Here's one: Nathaniel Mackey.

Mackey recently won the National Book Award for Splay Anthem.

Tuesday Morning: Brookland, USA

I started today with a bagel and a muffin. A bit much, but the belly's full. Now it's time for lists and tasks and measurables. Phone calls and e-mails. W-o-r-k.

Where's the poetry in that?

Just for fun, I browsed my Bookmarks for inspiration; procrastination, whatever...

Eureka! Now I'm ready for the mundane. Work, here I come :)

No Joke

Now, I could be snarky about this... but why bother?

The story speaks for itself.
