about this author

I live in upstate NY, Hudson River Valley, with my guy in a 238 yr old farmhouse.

My text and art journal, Sous Rature, features work of erasure and inadequacy. Poems, prose, cross. Also, images and art. This is a necessary endeavor.

1ssue is now online.

I love blueberry season.

Cara's favorite quotes

"If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience."
John Cage

"The world is teeming; anything can happen."
John Cage (Silence: Lectures and Writings)

"The more the poet grows, the deeper the level of creative intuition descends into the density of his soul. Where formerly he could be moved to song, he can do nothing now, he must dig deeper. "
Jacques Maritain
