I'm a University Lecturer in English and the author of a novel, The Secret of Hurricanes (MacAdam/Cage 2002). My life is summed up by Rumi, who said: "My story gets told in various ways: a romance, a dirty joke, a war, a vacancy." Rumi's quote is the epigraph to Hurricanes. The purpose of this journal is to explore creativity and the writing life.
I love these! I think the last time I recited a poem was when my roommate & I threw a Beatnik Poetry Party ... probably two years ago! Maybe we need another. :-)
Wow, thank you for this. My life, not theirs. Yes. Yes. And roll the dice. Maybe I have been holding back. Maybe that is the problem. Teagrapple

Rolling the dice. Going all the way! Beating death in life.
ReplyDeleteBukowski was not only a poet, but a philosopher.
I'm on dial up, and this video took a while to load, but the waiting was worth every moment. Thank you for sharing this!
