@carrieg for some reason the forums don’t let me post, so I’m responding here to your comments in the forum thread. Pete was right on the money when he talked about the character development being all Thanos – I elaborate in this post as to why I think this was important for the movie. But to add to that, I do think we get *some* character…[Read more]

Since January 1st I’ve read All the Light We Cannot See (by Anthony Doerr), and I found the writing so unforced and poignant and gorgeous that it made me welcome similes again in my own writing. Afterwards I wanted more of the same style of prose, so I read Four Seasons in Rome by the same author as well. It was different, but immensely en…[Read more]

Yep, @carrieg is correct! Actually, I wrote the whole poem around that one line. Hendrix art is a treasure hunt. 😀
I’ve read the next two poems and they’re awesome… looking forward to seeing what they look like with the art!

That’s another reason I’m writing these, @carrieg . Thanks for jumping in, and for your kind words over in the forum. I have always felt that Annie Dillard’s “An Expedition to the Pole” was a baptism of sorts for me. Everything else I read from her stands under that essay’s shadow.
