Eventful things
I've been in the sweatshop for a couple days getting this done:
.
Also finished up the link boxes, and a few more tagging pages. There shouldn't be any broken links anymore.
But more important than either of those, is a concept I was introduced to today by way of Rachel's Velveteen Rabbi blog. The particular post is here, in which she introduces me to the idea of ekphrastic poetry. Rachel's known about it for a long time (months at least), but it's new to me. I mentioned it over on my linkblog (really, it's just for my own amusement, I like the sound of my own typing (and I'm not being sarcastic, I'll die the day I get a comment there)) in the following form:
Ekphrastic Poetry Page
This is a page that describes something I do, but did not know there was a name for.
I wonder if ekphrastic poems can be sprung from other poetry?
I've had an idea for a long time to have a group of artists in a chain of inspiration. You see the previous piece, respond to it, then your bit becomes the "previous piece" for someone else. I'm sticking a pin in that for later.
Those thoughts are a couple hours old, but I come back around to it with the same enthusiasm now as I had then.
It's going to be a busy busy weekend, and thanks to Mario going right, I think the busy of the weekend will be good.
One last update... If you've got some free time, I flickr'd a ton of photos Reagan and I took on our cross-country trip last November. I have a lot of writing/journal essays from those days that I want to revisit and share.
Hm, flickr is holding some of my photos hostage. I'll have to do something about that.
