this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

My poem “Whiteness” published in @sugarhousereview.bsky.social. It was written about this time of year many years ago now. Originally it was less self-implicating and more finger-waggy. But that didn’t feel right. The town has since replaced the sign, which also had a big slice in it (?!).
Whiteness There’s a bullet hole in the only sign for miles, just over the brook from our house across a narrow bridge. We live close enough that in the winter we can see its red reflected through the desaturated woods and maybe a car or two per hour inching up to it. Now in the season’s dregs from the same window I witness a pair of grouse huddled in a tree, I track the brook’s rush in relation to rain falling high on the mountain towns, I’m impatient for the ferns and the bloodroot that seem impossible when everything once soft has been brittle for so long, and yes, I think about the hole someone blasted through the stop sign, the shell tumbling into a snow drift and the bullet itself catching the old bones of a pollarded willow. Then I admit to my shame there must be some pleasure in firing a gun into the night, even just once, and at what better target than something telling me to stop.
