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.

ReplyDeleteLying in bed
a noise awakens,
darkness forbids my senses.
A growl,
deep throated,
It leaps upon the bed
clawing.
Meowing,
A Pussy Cat!
