Today I got a couple of emails reminding me that my WordPress renewal is tomorrow. I thought that was odd, since I’m on auto-renew and don’t have to manually pay my bill. That’s when I noticed the email was from a user at “hosting.com” and the link address was to some long url that wasn’tContinue reading “WordPress Renewal Phishing”

Orpheus in Serbia
I add an anecdote to my Substack post about Staround’s performance of my poem “Orpheus” in Serbia.

Thoughts on having and updating an author webstie.
How Do You Know When You’ve Written a Poem? — A Dream Answer
In a dream last night, I was at an event aswering questions, and someone asked, “How do you know when you’ve written a poem?” I had a pretty good answer, or at least so it seemed in the dream. So let’s see how much I can remember here. The first part of my answer wasContinue reading “How Do You Know When You’ve Written a Poem? — A Dream Answer”
Do You Need an MFA to Be a Writer?
This morning WordPress showed me a link to this post: You Don’t Need an MFA to Be a Writer by Roxanna Coldiron. Though I direct a low-residency MFA program, I couldn’t agree more. I liked the post, but there was no way to comment, so I decided to write my response here. In her post,Continue reading “Do You Need an MFA to Be a Writer?”
Changes Coming to My Blog
Recently, I realized that I’ve been blogging for over a decade, since July 2009 to be precise. In that time, my blog and my readership has grown quite a bit, but the blog’s format has remained unchanged. In that time, I’ve also published two books of poetry and a textbook, and I’ve started an MFAContinue reading “Changes Coming to My Blog”
Writing for New Media
Many things about The W’s new low-residency MFA in creative writing get me excited, especially communicating with prospective students, but lately the most exciting part has been putting together a fall schedule. That is still very much in flux and will depend on the needs and desires of the students who actually apply — as I’ve toldContinue reading “Writing for New Media”
New Life for 1946 Motorette
A few months ago, I wrote a post about my dad’s 1946 Motorette motor scooter. I’ll admit, we had talked about trying to sell it, and I did have that on my mind. I had promised my mom I would look into it, yet in a couple of years, I hadn’t done much. It’s theContinue reading “New Life for 1946 Motorette”
Nonfiction, what is it?
I’m constantly being asked this question, since the creative writing program I teach in has a class in it (that I don’t teach, but I’m the program director, so I get asked a lot anyway). It’s a tough one to answer, and usually I list some of the kinds of writing, I think might beContinue reading “Nonfiction, what is it?”
Resolutions for 2010
December was a month for family (and finals), and I fell behind in my blogging. That’s all right, though. Family is important, and time away from technology can be time very well spent, especially when travel is involved. So I have a few resolutions for the new year: getting back to the blog is onlyContinue reading “Resolutions for 2010”
