Last Call of the DarkFebruary 21, 2025 - 2:20 am
My review of Mary Crane’s Last Call of the Dark just went up today, on-line at Raven Chronicles. Follow the link to read the full review! As a bonus for reading my blog, here’s a poem – about spring, which cannot get here fast enough for me. Hazel Catkin I greeted the first spring-like day […]
Dusk-Voiced, poems by Jayne MarekFebruary 8, 2025 - 10:08 pm
I learned this week of the death, January 9, of my friend the literary scholar and poet Jayne Marek. My friend and my comrade poet. You can read her inspiring obituary here. My review of her new book, Dusk-Voiced (Tebot Bach, 2024), is waiting to be posted at Escape into Life (apparently there is a […]
The Phoenix Requires AshesJanuary 30, 2025 - 8:43 pm
Given my teaching schedule and other commitments, I may not blog every week in 2025, but I am continuing with my project of reading a book of poetry each week. This week I read a collection of poems by Bellingham poet Maureen Sandra Kane, The Phoenix Requires Ashes: Poems for the Journey (Gray Matter Press, […]
Taking Leave, poems by Mary Ellen TalleyJanuary 24, 2025 - 4:53 pm
I was playing around with the idea of titling a post, “What Will You Inaugurate this Year?” The idea came via my brilliant friend and piano teacher, Susan, who recently told me, Your year—your next 4 years—do not belong to any politician, they belong to you. Following this advice, however, is one of those “easier said […]
Year’s EndJanuary 1, 2025 - 2:06 am
It is New Year’s Eve — though this will post as January 1. Anyway, just a few thoughts to wrap up 2024 here at A Habit of Writing. BUYING BOOKS? Earlier this year, a reader asked me, Where do you find your books? The library, I think I said, or friends give them to me, […]
What RemainsDecember 22, 2024 - 3:35 am
Over the last few days, I’ve taken some very long walks, several naps, and I’ve read What Remains: The Collected Poems of Hannah Arendt, trans. and edited by Samantha Rose Hill with Genese Grill (LiverightPubl, 2025). It is being hailed as “a landmark literary event.” The poems, presented in the original German and in English, […]
Necessary LightDecember 14, 2024 - 3:56 am
It is Friday the 13th, probably too late in the day for this to post as 12/13/24, but that’s the date on which I am writing. I have been in a strange, estranged state of late. Not that I haven’t worked. At times I’ve worked obsessively. I made progress on the mystery novel, then I […]
Books for WritersNovember 30, 2024 - 11:33 pm
Before I forget, earlier this month I reviewed Martha Silano’s award-winning new book, This One We Call Ours, for Raven Chronicles. You can read the review here. The holidays are upon us, and if you have a writer-friend, perhaps you’re wondering what book you should buy for them. Along these lines of thought, someone […]
WE HAD OUR REASONS, Ricardo RuizNovember 23, 2024 - 1:57 am
Business as usual seems beyond me right now, and I’m daily amazed by the advertisements that make their way into my email-inbox—including from writers merrily chirping about new classes and life changing strategies for writing “your next best-seller!” But here’s me. Dropping some of my 2024 goals, downsizing from the usual blog reviews, but still […]
Victoria Doerper, WHAT IF WE ALL BLOOMED?November 14, 2024 - 6:52 pm
WHAT IF WE ALL BLOOMED? POEMS OF NATURE, LOVE, AND AGING, Victoria Doerper. Penchant Press International, Bellingham, WA, 2019, 94 pages, paper, $15.95. What If We All Bloomed? is a perfect title for this book of meditative poems. Here’s a poet who can celebrate marriage in one poem, and claim kinship with frogs in the […]
