Poetry…Putting It Out There
Well…I mailed my one little poem to Georgetown Review today. I couldn’t resist; I thought Straddling An Open Window fit the topic of redemption, espcially as the editors at GR have a broad definition of it. If you are interested in sending them poetry, essays, or short story look at their online submission guide for [...]
Were you looking for US?

Rolling Curlers Rolling Five rows back I see only her right ear. That and the large pink and blue rollers decorating bleached hair, pulled to a loose rotation like retread tires or cotton candy twirled on a paper cone. Dark pleated roots. Shaking hands draw the mascara wand nearer. The palsy doesn’t stop with the [...]

A Bit of Restructuring for WD and …deb and stoney moss
I’ve reorganized Stoney Moss in the last day or two. Now you can find details about Whirling Dervish’s scholarly life in a post (More About Whirling Dervish’s Graduate School) accessible from “And a little more…“ on the sidebar.
