So we are quickly (too quickly!) coming up on National Poetry Month. I'd set myself a goal for the year of participating in (and completing) NaPoWriMo, but I'm just not sure I can do it. This whole 3-classes-at-a-time thing is much harder than I thought. So I've decided to give myself a break this year:… Continue reading april approacheth

new collaboration
I've started a new collaborative art project. I know, I'm insane. School, work, Jacob, all those resolutions I made (crap, it's time to review that again, isn't it?). But this is cool and exciting and fun. And a little stressful, but you know. So you can check out the project here, at Reflex the Noun… Continue reading new collaboration
process
I'm gearing up to start a new poetry and art project (one that combines poetry and art, yay!), one that will be collaborative. More details on that later -- in the meantime, I've been trying to get back into the swing of writing regularly. Since NaPoMo, I haven't written a whole lot, so I think… Continue reading process

for EvelynEvelyn, on YouTube, here.
EvelynEvelyn
Last night, I went to see EvelynEvelyn at the TLA on South Street. The feminist hoopla seems to have died down (although it's perhaps still going - I have mainly stopped reading feminst blogspaces for a number of reasons), and I kept thinking last night how glad I am that Amanda and Jason were able… Continue reading EvelynEvelyn
book ban update
Since my last blogging, I've exchanged some emails with a few people (including the Media Center Coordinator at RV) about the book ban. Further update coming, but in the meantime, I sent this to the local BOE today: Dear Board Members, I was raised in a traditional home by parents with strong beliefs and a… Continue reading book ban update
gaga
There's a really entertaining and interesting assessment of Lady Gaga's newest endeavor, also known as the "Telephone" video, up at Feministe. You should go read it. In the meantime, is this some incredibly sick makeup, or what? It's certainly not the craziest she's done, or the most daring, or whatever. But it looks damn good,… Continue reading gaga
art, activism, feminism, and the possibly impossible coexistence thereof
So there's a big bruhaha (brou-ha-ha? brew-haha? whatever) blowing up in the feminist and indie-arts blogospheres about Amanda Palmer's latest project with Jason Webley, promoted as Evelyn Evelyn (or the Neville Sisters). You can read the history of Evelyn Evelyn here, followed by the recap and Amanda's response to the big dramz here. Basically though,… Continue reading art, activism, feminism, and the possibly impossible coexistence thereof

inspiration
I spent a few hours at Border's this afternoon, and came away with a solid draft of a poem based on this fairy tale (hat tip to Deb LaVeglia for the idea!). Just before settling in to draft the poem, I had a brief chat with This Donna, who mentioned poetry postcards - and then… Continue reading inspiration
