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.

Poem
Back then I realized everything was in him: the nervous ants I had played with as a child, the sad birds I had found and buried, new landscapes, sermons that sang to me.
Back then he dreamed the world and I was in his dream.
Such lovely words...thanks for sharing.
