monday

Good morning,

The poetry reading I arranged was so wonderful, and now I'm tired out, but with a second wind coming. And I'm going to London in June for a conference and will see the poet who came to read (Michael McKimm) then. His book is beautiful. Reinvigorating. We sat around the next morning reading poems to one another and exchanging information about poetry. And making plans.

I love this video and this song, which is from the compilation Dark Was The Night. Really good music all together.

This weekend I was taken out for breakfast, where we sat in the window and read the paper. Had a scone (recent addition to my favorites-list) and then a walk and a trip to town. Made pizza. Watched Amelie (which he'd never seen before). Learned a bunch of words in Dutch and made some sentences. Made him laugh. Laughed too. It was very easy.

The rest of the week calls. I have to get back to working on my thesis. Also job applications, and printmaking to do, and meetings. What news do you have? What is good there?
