Writing about Ruins



I have been writing about Ireland. This is something I've mostly avoided for years. It's time, I think. I feel smothered by faces and ruins and ruins of faces. I hope that of the 30 poems I write this November, at least a few can put these ghosts to rest.

Love the new color and look, Jen. A poem a day? I could never do it...
Excited to see you this weekend...

Thanks, Amy. This poem a day stuff is killing me. I am trying to allow myself to just write (like I did when I was a kid), but I tinker and tinker, and then four hours are gone and I have two lines.

Can't wait to see you.
