It's here!

Five years ago I had this nagging feeling that there was a story waiting to be told, and it was getting impatient. Today it goes out into the world to be read, commented on, and hopefully enjoyed.

Thank you for following my journey to this moment. I invite you now to sit down, open my book, and finally join Arthur Conan Doyle, Professor Joseph Bell, and the indomitable Miss Margaret Harkness as tog Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Bradley Harper (?)

“I have noticed over the years that the more people disparage public servants, the less time they have spent in their company. Before me was a man who had the weight of an entire community on his shoulders, confronting danger and criticism at every quarter from people he would never meet and who were, for the most part, ungrateful.”
― Bradley Harper, A Knife in the Fog

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
