Before I head off to downtown Chicago to the Bookfair of the AWP (Table C6 ), I'd like to give a wrap-up of some of the wonderful things the wonderful contributors to Solace in So Many Words have been up to lately. Kathleen Kirk ("The Solace of Reading: How to Survive Hormonal and Spiritual Upheavals of Midlife," "Postoponing a Response to the Fact of Mortality" and "The Heartbreak House") has a new chapbook!  It is called "Nocturnes" and is hot off the presses of Hyacinth … [Read more...]

I went to a reading of "A Light Breakfast" a unique collection that is edited by Arlyn Miller and features a sackful of great poems  including ones by Solace in So Many Words contributor Carol N.

  This sign is one of many on the white clapboard exterior of the very delicious Elizabeth's Restaurant in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans (601 Gallier Street, New Orleans, LA 70117, 504-944-9272). The food there is excellent and the decor features the artwork of Dr. Bob, much of which admonishes: "Be nice or leave."   Love. … [Read more...]
