writing around someone
I write every day. Sometimes fiction, more often commentary on political events and personalities, art and music, or literature. It's hard to nail me down to one thing, so this blog is where I put items that interest me that are connected, in general, with the Arts.

burn (poem by jbradley)

I read a powerful poem this afternoon on the web site of jbradley. Here's a bit to whet your interest...


...our teacher Mrs. Mack said
if we were good,
she would let us go outside
and watch the shuttle
takeoff.

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1
we rushed outside
as the Challenger climbed the sky....


You can sort of see where that's leading, if you remember the Challenger space flight in 1986, if you remember Christy McAuliffe. jbradley's first grade class watched it....

Well, read the poem.

Stories about cities

I ran across the City Stories Project this morning. These are a collection of web sites dedicated to telling true stories of the city where the tellers live. It's a massive world-wide collaboration. I read about it at Nervous.org a site that provides a forum for various collaborative projects -- a grown-up version of "finish this story." There you will see journals mailed around to folks on a list, something taken and something given. The essence of community.
