Apparently I'm one for rituals--more than likely a result of growing up among Catholics. But while Lent 2011 was a FAIL (I decided I needed to be kinder to myself instead of the opposite), National Poetry Month will be a SUCCESS if I approach it realistically. Lately my writing process has included collecting assorted lines and images in one, on-going document. After a time (usually once I hit page ten), I go back and see what I can shape into actual poems (if I'm lucky). So this month I'll be starting a new document filled with whatever I can manage each day. Wish me luck.

In other news-- the lovely, talented and awesomely generous Erika Meitner will be a part of CCAD's Visiting Artist Series this coming Monday April 4, 11 am, Canzani Center Auditorium. You really shouldn't miss it.

Thursday (April 7) Maggie Smith, Joshua Butts, and Sommer Sterud will be reading at Capital U. 3 pm, Kable Chapel.

Let the poetry (and the spring?) begin!
