Two Juncos & a Sparrow Eating Seed on our Porch
Indian Valley, Idaho
Wednesday 12/29/10


The photo was taken during the big winter storm that hit on Tuesday & lasted thru Wednesday, dropping well over a foot of snow & knocking out power for much of the two days, including 18-1/2 hours straight on Wednesday.   We couldn't get to the feeders, so Eberle strewed seed on the porch.

In other news: I'd like to acknowledge that our very own SoCal Correspondent & dear friend Audrey Bilger received a well-deserved commendation on the Ms Magazine Blog: her interview with Twitter phenom Feminist Hulk was named #2 on the list of Top 10 Ms Blog Posts for 2010—that's out of 1,000 posts that appeared on the Ms. Blog last year.  Way to go, Audrey!

Tomorrow on Robert Frost's Banjo? I was saying Monday Morning Uke, but that ain't happening—too busy this weekend.  I may take a day off.

This week on The Spring Ghazals: music theory for poets continues!

Alcools? I'm having a deuce of a time with the next poem,"Le Larron," ("The Thief.") I can see why one translation of Alcools I have omitted it—it's difficult.  I don't know if it will be up Monday or not, but I hope to complete it soon so I can move on!

Tomorrow on Robert Frost's Banjo? The Monday Morning Blues! & once again, something new & unsual!

This week on The Spring Ghazals: music theory for poets!  I know there are a lot of musical references in the collection, & I'll be discussing those in the next few posts; & yes, there will be mp3s involved!  First post in the series should be up tomorrow morning.


Alcools? I've started to translate the next poem"Le Larron," ("The Thief") but I don't believe it will be ready for Monday.  If it's ready by mid-week I'll post it then rather than waiting until a week from Monday.  Please stay tuned!

Be sure to check in on The Spring Ghazals! There have been some exciting new posts there recently, including one about an interview, which you can read here on the Tangerine Tree Press blog—many thanks to Sheila Graham-Smith!  Also, one final reminder: today & tomorrow are the last two days to purchase The Spring Ghazals at 15% off (by entering coupon code LEAF305 at checkout).  Sales have been extremely slow, so I'm hoping some of you will want to take advantage of this.  You can purchase The Spring Ghazals at this link.

There won't be a Monday post on Alcools. The next translation isn't completed yet (again).  Completing a translation of "Le Larron" ("The Thief") is a priority in the coming week!

& tomorrow on Robert Frost's Banjo? The Monday Morning Blues! Not sure what, exactly, but it'll be here.

Stay tuned....

Please check out tomorrow's post at The Days of Wine & Roses; it's the final poem in the Heaven sequence ("Heaven #6), & is the penultimate poem in the collection.  Counting tomorrow, there will only 3 more posts on The Days of Wine & Roses before the blog is retired.

More poetry?  Be sure to check in on The Spring Ghazals!  There will be a new post there within the next day or so, & at least one more during the course of the week.

There won't be a Monday post on Alcools.  The next translation isn't completed yet.

& tomorrow on Robert Frost's Banjo?  We begin B.N.'s story All Knees Shall Bend And Every Tongue Shall Vow.  This story is about 911, & about privilege.  It's a powerhouse, & while B.N. & I don't agree about some of the points-of-view that come up during the narrative, I give it a high recommendation as a piece of fiction.  The story is divided into five parts, & it will be posted serially, Sunday thru Thursday.
