Aug. 17th, 2004 12:33 pmHmm. I need to decide what poems to bring to the group tonight. Last week, I got generally good reviews on "Evidence [3:10 and I hear]" (which is different than the "Evidence" that deals with a car crash). I got useful feedback, too.
I'm thinking of bringing "Concubine" (formerly parts I and II and which remains unfinished--I envision at least two more sonnet sections) or even "Lazarus" (which I'm resisting, because it's out for consideration, so there's little immediate incentive to work on that right now). But I definitely want to bring something long. I've noticed that some poets will bring double-sided sheets in order to sneak in two poems for critique, and that remains an option.

Aug. 17th, 2004 10:52 pmI brought "Concubine", and got a lot of puzzled responses. I apologized as I explained that I envisioned two more sonnet sections. The folks there said okay, maybe then, bring it back and then we'll give you our impressions. That's fair.
I tried to write a little before the group met, and wow, the words just weren't coming. It's disappointing. But now that my schedule is more filled, I think I need to set aside more time specifically for writing. I don't have the luxury of waiting for inspiration.
I'm reading Stephen Dunn's Walking Light, billed as the follow-up to Richard Hugo's The Triggering Town, which I really enjoyed. The latter uses a lot of humor, the former is a bit more formal but still very accessible. I like it a lot.
