Sunday Sentence

15147_grandeIn which I participate in David Abrams’s “Sunday Sentence” project, sharing the best sentence I’ve read during the past week, “out of context and without commentary.”

Now on our backs
in Fayetteville, Arkansas,
the stars are falling
into our cracked eyes.

Midweek Notes from a Practicing Writer

Quick summary this week:

  • Busy times over at the day job. For a summary of some of what I’ve been monitoring, check the latest Fig Tree Books blog post.
  • Working away on revising poems and sending out submissions. Hope to actually draft a couple of new pieces in the near future, too.
  • Saw Inside Out last weekend. Feeling surprisingly “meh” about it. (Similar to how I sometimes feel about a mega-hyped book that I’ve finally gotten around to reading.)
  • INSIDE-OUT-18

    What’s new with you?
