Dave Bonta's "Indian pipes"
MY: It also strikes me that you avoid much of the unrest and lack of satisfaction that plagues many writers once they attempt to enter the publishing world. You determine the extent of your freedoms and will what your world will be. You determine what standards measure your work. Comment?

Dave Bonta, "Birch leaf in ice"
DB: I was also pushed to do other creative things to feed the blog, such as take photos, which I hadn't done since I was a kid. And the direct ancestor to my microblog, The Morning Porch, was a daily writing exercise at Via Negativa called Words on the Street, where I had this cartoon I'd drawn of a bum holding a sign, and every day I wrote a new

Dave Bonta, "Talus"
I don't regret the rise of Facebook, Twitter and company, because I think a lot of people who didn't really want to write used to feel pressure to engage in long-form blogging, and quickly burnt out on it and disappeared from the scene. And I think it's very important for writers to engage with others who are not writers.

"A Fire in Ice" from THE THRONE OF PSYCHE
Rebecca Beatrice Miller is learning to paint on her new
wacom intuos tablet. This one is cold enough to go with
"A Fire in Ice"--and it has a little cauldron of sorts in the cup!
Think she has been a little chilly at Bard College in her first year?
Here's another poem from The Throne of Psyche, now shipping to stores and reviewers from the Mercer University warehouses. This one is another

Dreeing your weird*** in THE THRONE OF PSYCHE
The Throne of Psyche - just out from Mercer University Press!
My copies of The Throne of Psyche shipped out from the warehouse yesterday, and so I imagine I will see them on Monday. But some people already received them this afternoon. So far I have heard of one store where they were purchased, and the word was that the bookseller was exuberant over how beautiful they are! Rah for beauty and

The House of Words (no. 18): Philip Lee Williams & the university press
Philip Lee Williams, continued
But how can one do that and still publish? The answer for me was to hook up with a small but aggressive academic press that was interested in highly literary works. That press is Mercer University Press in Georgia, which is fairly young and eagerly trying to make a name for itself as a literary press. Here, I will be publishing the high-art literary books I've been
