Need a solid book on poetic craft? This might be what you're looking for. If you're thinking, you know enough about line breaks, you probably don't. There is always more to learn.

The Wild Robot was likely my favorite film of the year. My daughter and I love the book series and I knew it would be good on screen. But I was blown away. I was truly moved. This film is a work of art in every way.

Spotify Wrapped for my spoken word records. Not too bad given these records have been around awhile. I am honored that they continue to connect with audiences every year. Thanks tuning in!

Yeah, OK. Maybe I listen to Iron & Wine sometimes. And by that, I mean all the time. But I mean, have your heard his new record? *chefs kiss*

I love movies that feel like poems. It's difficult to define the poetic qualities but a few words that come to mind: ethereal, surreal, beautiful, unconventional. A Ghost Story is one that comes to mind. If you want to be inspired, watch this uncompromising masterpiece.

Reading some Eliot this past week. Yes, of course "The Wasteland" is amazing. But I am partial to "Gernotion," "The Hollow Men," and "Ash Wednesday." Who wants to go to TS Eliot Festive 2025? 🤔

You could say I've been reading/studying prose poetry a little bit for the last couple of years. And there are other collections around that were not in this pile. My brain has been twisted in the best ways.

From The Nervous Songs by Berryman. The entire series is great. I've read it before but it snagged me this time.
