Karen Douglass, Writer. And more than ever the U.S. public needs the Other Voice in order to humanize rather than demonize the rich cultures that lie outside the pale. Yes, the pale. Too many white readers, agents, editors and the like have walled themselves inside a white-literature ghetto. Like Plato’s cave people they see a shadowy reflection of a reality more diverse and textured than they can imagine.

Karen Douglass, Writer. Lighthouse Writers’ Workshop has scored again. They have created a project called. Details at Write Denver. This idea matters in the grand scheme of poetry making. Memorable poems do not exist in a geography of the mind but of the world, specific places like McDuffy’s farm in Minnesota (James Wright), foggy old London (T.S. Eliot), museums and forests, bedrooms and hospital rooms. And isn’t that our assignment as writers? Again this year and this year and this,. No, I’ll sta...

Karen Douglass, Writer. Jonathan Waldman has written a prize-winning book called. Rust: The Longest War. Waldman is a journalist and true to his profession he did plenty of first hand research about the problems of corrosion. Odd, you say, who cares, you say?

Frozen Stiff « KVDbooks
https://kvdbooks.com/2015/08/08/frozen-stiff
Karen Douglass, Writer. She’s frozen by indecision and fear. Fear of boring people, fear of not writing a helpful piece that answers the so-what question, the why-should-anyone read what she has to say. She’s not famous, not a celebrity from the cover of a magazine. OMG! Is the wrong word. It’s just a brick, a stone, yes, a pebble in her shoe. Aha! Metaphor, good old friend, rides in on its spavined nag and the mare drops a load on the office floor. Forget metaphor. Not today, never again. She’...I think...

Karen Douglass, Writer. Revise and Let It Loose. Is the title intriguing, inviting, wacky enough to make someone read on? Does it have substance and endurance? This challenge keeps me polishing when it would be easier to stuff it in a notebook and let it rot. Tagged anxiety of influence. What Words Can’t Say. Tagged craft of poetry. Poems Come from Everywhere. Waking up with this strong image, I was more curious than alarmed. Why was that, given the size and location of that serpent in the garden? Let go...
