What's really funny is that August 23 is also my birthday, and my sister-in-law's birthday is Dec. 7th...we're hoping that the little one makes an appearance on that day! Dates can be good luck :).<br /><br />Thanks also for sharing that poem--I'd never seen it before. Hope writing and all things are going wonderfully!Hannah Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792203070774504501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171487865623213768.post-73720656500664876762015-07-21T13:04:54.789-04:002015-07-21T13:04:54.789-04:00Hannah!

Often, I print out your poems, carry them in my pocket or purse for a few days to re-read--then I leave them out in the world--on a coffee house table, tucked inside a library book, that sort of thing, with your site address written on the bottom. I love the idea of another lucky reader stumbling over your wonderful writing this way. Congratulations and I hope to read The Storialist for many years to come.Puff Of Smoke Poemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704190887579087213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171487865623213768.post-55388161485492797652015-07-20T14:16:54.239-04:002015-07-20T14:16:54.239-04:00Congratulations on your seven year anniversary, mo...Congratulations on your seven year anniversary, more importantly on the new member of your family. I agree with you on creativity and productivity...I think it is the same in every field...even in sports...the progress our body makes comes after a plateau and requires plowing through.<br />I did not know about cell regeneration every seven years, and so I am going to search that...there is always something to learn or marvel at in your blog.<br />MrsLittleJeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261467265044347736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171487865623213768.post-78806042762650133792015-07-20T12:33:51.041-04:002015-07-20T12:33:51.041-04:00Congratulations Hannah on seven magnificent years....Congratulations Hannah on seven magnificent years. I can't count the number of poems and posts of yours that have changed me in some way. This post has special significance in that I discovered your blog shortly after I started my own. I remember you riffing on photos from the sartorialist, and thinking how cool and unique it was to narrow your vision to fit THAT form. I've watched you since then expand your visions and your forms (to the point where, as you suggest, the good stuff happens invisibly). Along the way you managed to philosophically ambiguitize virtually every daily act we humans engage in, from talking philosophy with copy machines to seeing God in germs to listening to the sound the dead make in wind chimes. Throughout it all, your wistful air of wonder breathed life into even the most unpromising of themes, always asking questions in a way that was as gentle as it was deep -- a rare thing. <br /><br />Your notice is personal also because I was born on the 7th (of December), my first-born (son) emerged on the Leo-Virgo cusp (August 23), and because your cameo of Seurat's Sunday Afternoon along the Seine (always with the painterly touchstones too!) brought Delmore Schwartz's great poem <a href="http://www.lamaquinadeltiempo.com/algode/delmore2.htm" rel="nofollow">"Seurat's Sunday Afternoon along the Seine" </a>into dialog with what you write as well as where I was/am as a writer with children. Yet another fitting magical connection. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing what you do. <br /><br />WAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10403669322174979974noreply@blogger.com
