Writing until you reach an ending that squeezes out tears. July 24, 2015. Finding an ending for poems. For me is hard. Sometimes I want to end it as if I’m right there with you,. I rip open my heart and plant her. But that doesn’t leave the space the imagination or savory-ness for the reader. Poems are mini surprises. Poems and writing for children go hand in hand.

Friday, April 6, 2012. MFA Thesis Survival Tips. And so in case these tips might be useful to your thesis or similar project, here are my top survival tactics:. 1 Find your people.

Grout Nonfiction: Reality Hunger: A Discussion via Homage
http://cnfgrout.blogspot.com/2011/05/reality-hunger-discussion-via-homage.html

Monday, February 20, 2012. Fifteen False or True Starts. Guest blog post from Tanya Paperny. In response to the recent discussion regarding truth, lyric essays, and John D'Agata:. Fifteen False or True Starts. 1) Holy shit, you just blew my mind. Was she being presented to us as an essayist. And what were these works she read? Like a frozen mouse.

Wednesday, August 5, 2015. In July the flower stand squats empty. Crates gray like the pavement. Cinderblocks sigh heavily with. Wooden slats loitering about-. Paint splits off the faded sign.
