Back on the job
Well, being back to work is certainly making it hard to get to this journal! Readjusting – AGAIN! – has been rough and it didn’t help that I stayed out so late on Monday night after the show. We ended a bit late as it was but afterwards, Jerry Quickley was in town for the
Let the Inspections Work
Please join me NOW in registering for a Virtual March on Washington for February 26th. We are asking Congress to stop the Bush administration’s rush to war, and to Let the Inspections Work. Time is running out. With your help, on February 26th, every Senate office will receive a call EVERY MINUTE from a constituent,
A Curatorial Rant
Back when I was single and just starting out on the poetry scene, I quickly learned one rule of thumb: no matter how attractive, never introduce yourself to a poet until AFTER you’ve heard them read.

Charging the choir for a sermon
Call me cynical – you wouldn’t be the first! – but I’ve got some issues with this Lincoln Center Anti-War reading next Monday. And no, it’s got nothing to do with it being ON a Monday. I’ve encouraged people to check it out and even sent it out to our mailing list. It was actually
A Good Night
