Status update

Hello, all! Look at how fancy we are! Just like an old home, the quiet website is being rebuilt to hold up and look better with age. Starting with the blog. Look for more posts in the coming month, to go along with this spiffy new redesign.

blockbuster:lackluster

Back in the saddle again.

When Matt asked me to be an artist at quiet Speaks, my blood pressure went up and I started sweating. Thank goodness, i was wearing deodorant.
I hadn’t been on stage in over 6 months.
What if I didn’t know how to act anymore. What if I threw up. What if?  I told him to let me …

Take Aways and Half-Truths: WSAA, Arts Advocacy Meeting 5/27/11

And Now For Something Completely Different!
The Washington State Arts Alliance, Arts Advocacy Meeting 5/27/11
I’ll start by saying…there were mimosas: SB 5834 passed with a 62/34 vote at 9:34pm on Wednesday. What a juicy win for us after all the re-writing, foot-dragging, and appeasement-searching. 10% budget cuts rather than 47%. Alright!

Take Aways and Half Truths: The “Oh Yeah” Series for Poets

From Rae Armantrout’s Reading:

Last Sunday, Pulitzer prize-winner Rae Armantrout gave a reading at Open Books: The Poetry Emporium (Poets, a spending limit might be in order. This is our casino, minus gold LAMÉ and cocktails).

Know your reading voice: what you …

Take Aways and Half Truths: The “Oh Yeah” Series for Poets

From Eric Baus “Tuned Droves”

NEW RULE: for every day off, one book. This way those uncelebrated library tommmeesss, neatly stacked to be forgotten, might actually go back into public circulation. The process of return date, renewal, return date, renewal, spanning the last few months is just shameful—

I strictly read to be …

What inspires me presently, when I think of GENDER.

With the music I listen to, with the movies I watch…
I try to find a connection in some way, shape, or form when it comes to writing something. Right now, I’ve started a couple writing projects via poetry. “The Pretty Women” & “War of the Roses”. Over the past couple weeks, I’ve been feeling as …
