Author has written 17 stories for General, General, Fantasy, Humor, Life, Love, Religion, and Nature. "Then we should hear words,
Words as large as apples. Thick
As honey or buttermilk.
Words which penetrate like flame
And, once within the soul, like fire in some
hut,
Illuminate its wretched trappings.
Words which do no die
And which we celebrate in song."
The Face of the Horse, by Nikolai Alekseevich Zabolotsky.
"And don't worry about your lineage
poetic or natural. The sun shines on
the jungle, you know, on the tundra
the sea, the ghetto. Wherever you were
I knew it and saw you moving. I was waiting
for you to get to work.
And now that you
are making your own days, so to speak,
even if no one reads you but me
you won't be depressed. Not
everyone can look up, even at me. It
hurts their eyes"
A True Account of Talking to the Sun at Fire Island, by Frank o'Hara. |
