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.

A Man Standing
From the window of our truck, A man standing at the edge of his house. He held a gardening tool with a long handle. The handle at a diagonal in front of his body. At first I thought he held a guitar.
Your fragments and short observations paint quite a picture. They're truly fascinating.
