Call for Poems (Yours!)
We want your poems.
How often do you hear this?
Not often enough.
I’m co-curator of the Indian Creek Trail Poetry Walk, and it’s true — we want your poems!
The Poetry Walk project brings together two things I love: poetry in public and nature . . . along with community building, sense of place, and the power of creative expression.
Located in Hood River, Oregon (where I live), the Poetry Walk is a

Next time I get near a "Jenna Book Club Pick," please just shove me away. These characters are immature and ridiculous. Doesn't everyone go to a coveted writing retreat and fall into bed with the hunky townie? Umm, no. Did not finish due to the drive ...more |

| A disappointing second novel from Sara Sligar. I loved her debut ("Take Me Apart") but this one is so over-the-top, with unbelievable characters in an implausible plot. ...more | |

Love the unique telling of story in this slim novel -- just 100 powerful pages. Brown writes tight, with an inner monologue that operates just as the mind does: darting, with leaps between fact and feeling, time and truth. She does not finish every t ...more |

“Why are we reading, if not in hope of beauty laid bare, life heightened and its deepest mystery probed? Can the writer isolate and vivify all in experience that most deeply engages our intellects and our hearts? Can the writer renew our hope for literary forms? Why are we reading if not in hope that the writer will magnify and dramatize our days, will illuminate and inspire us with wisdom, courage, and the possibility of meaningfulness, and will press upon our minds the deepest mysteries, so that we may feel again their majesty and power? What do we ever know that is higher than that power which, from time to time, seizes our lives, and reveals us startlingly to ourselves as creatures set down here bewildered? Why does death so catch us by surprise, and why love? We still and always want waking.”

“One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.”

“The situation is grave: the way we lean over each other, the way years later we emerge: hunchbacked, hooded, with full grown tender things called souls.”
