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.

Haiku #186
The zookeeper remembers the book about insects, parents, and god. His eyes are moist with tears.
In the simplest way, this zookeeper is starting to be quite a strong character. Will he break out of haiku into story? Just wondering...

Yes! He has taken a life of his own! Quite unexpected but very exciting!
