THEN, SOMETHING: Notes from Cold River: November 2004
http://patfargnoli.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
THEN, SOMETHING: Notes from Cold River. Thoughts about poetry and life. Monday, November 29, 2004. My poems, these days, are changing. Suddenly, without knowing, what has happened, I find myself writing short simple lyrics and miniatures. And I am breaking the rules. I write about "beauty" for instance, about "loveliness" about souls and spirit. What is it? This sudden, or perhaps not so sudden pull away from narrative, away from what I call my "flip contemporary voice" to a quieter one? I'm a former New...

Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Hop in. I'm figuring out right now how we might include you from your home if you don't live in the area and want to work along with us in a six hour workshop to write a story by afternoon you didn't know you'd write in the morning.

Long Pine Limited: Self Publishing in a World of Literary Democratization
http://longpinelimited.blogspot.com/2014/12/self-publishing-in-world-of-literary.html
Sunday, December 7, 2014. Self Publishing in a World of Literary Democratization. Vanity publishing, it used to be called. It happened because the author of a book was not willing to go through the gauntlet of rejection and revision. I've seen so many self-published books in which the author was not well-served by the publishing outfit that was happy to take the money but not at all willing to provide editorial services to save the author from his or her self. That's the history. And the Pushcart Prize.

Saturday, January 4, 2014. More on "River," the Final Story in Olive Kitteridge; Anticipating Revisions of Forty Martyrs. For a few weeks I've been thinking about "River," the closing story in Elizabeth Strout(pictured above)'s wondrous novel-in-stories Olive Kitteridge. As noted before, my interest is self-interest - trying to solve a problem in my own novel-in-stories tentatively titled Forty Martyrs. The story appeared in the New England Review. The glue holding the stories together. The overall effec...

Also read very well. I loved her poems and recommend that you search out her chapbook. As long as I'm recommending books, here are some others I've read lately and recommend:. These are poems of clarity and elegance full of a deep spirituality. I've been reading them slowly so as not to too quickly skim their many gifts.
