From my oldest extant notebook, early ’90s.
Was looking for something else and found this. We had to have cover sheets for test days and I always drew stuff like this for them.

Two Poems Reheated
I posted one of the poems I had published at The Bakery before it closed shop and here are the other two that used to live there. A friend of mine who was making zines wanted me to write a dream narrative for him to illustrate, so I wrote the following prose poem. Even though … Continue reading Two Poems Reheated

In 2012, we had our first child and … Continue reading Abecedarian–That’s How Easy Love Can Be.

Do not disturb my circles: Plutarch’s Archimedes
One of the long haul reading projects I currently have going is Plutarch’s Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans, aka Parallel Lives or simply Lives. One of my favorite pieces is on Marcus Claudius Marcellus, in which Archimedes, one of the great mathematicians and inventors appears. While there are plenty of military anecdotes throughout the … Continue reading Do not disturb my circles: Plutarch’s Archimedes
