- This song, “Calling Cards,” by Neko Case (I have a memorized calling card number from 14 years ago that I occasionally use):
- Radio Crackling, Radio Gone, by Lisa Olstein (Copper Canyon Press, 2006). Here’s a great poem from the collection called “That Magnificent Part the Chorus Does about Tragedy”.
- Eric Valli’s photography. I am in awe of these gorgeous photos. They do tell stories, but by immersing viewers into one fragment/scene of a story. There is something to learn here, I think.

- A bunch of readings that I’ll be doing throughout fall! It’s a good opportunity to read new work, and experiment with what pieces I group together. And it’s always fun to read one or two poems not by me!
And you, friends?
