\"\"<\/a>Supposedly it\u2019s spring. Last night we had a dusting of snow and today the temps are in the 20s.\u00a0 Most of the mounds of snow that accumulated over the winter are gone except for the waning piles that remain in the shady spots.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen robins and blue jays and all kinds of birds in the yard.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s photos in Glimpse of Solace<\/strong><\/a> are from a new contributor,\u00a0 Lisa Comperry. <\/strong>Today’s Guest Post<\/strong><\/a> is a poem (“Seed Catalogs”) by Laura Rodley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

BTW, did you read Laura’s poem for St. Patrick’s Day? Titled “Ireland”<\/strong> it appeared in The New Verse News<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. <\/strong><\/em>Also Laura’s article “The Ambassador of Brown Swiss”appeared in Country Folk<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, The Weekly Farm Paper Highlighting Agriculture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Another recent project of Laura Rodley’s<\/strong> is As You Write It A Franklin County Anthology, Vol. IV, <\/em><\/strong>which she edited. The debut reading is Sunday April 13 in Turners Falls, MA. \u00a0Described this way: \u201cJoin us as runaway rivers carry away bridges, friends stay united for sixty years, a hapless child receives a miracle, a woman born in 1919 clamors for a woman president, a student overcomes bullying, dogs find forever homes with a loving family, three eaglets are hatched at Barton Cove, and cars exert their mighty muscles across this vast American landscape we call home.\u201d\u00a0 Sounds intriguing. Congrats to Laura Rodley. <\/strong><\/p>\n

T. Coraghessan Boyle <\/strong> has a story \u201cThe Relive Box\u201d in the March 17 issue<\/a> of The New Yorker<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 The concept will get you thinking.\u00a0 After you read the story, you can check out “This Week In Fiction”<\/a> <\/strong> <\/strong> (on the Page Turner<\/strong> blog of The New Yorker<\/em>) in which Deborah Treisman<\/strong> and T. C. Boyle discuss how he came up with the idea for this story. He also spills some details on his latest inventions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>D<\/strong> <\/strong>onna Hilbert <\/strong>and Susan Mahan<\/strong> have work in a new book The Widow\u2019s Handbook: Poetic Reflections on Grief and Survival. <\/strong><\/em>It is edited by Jacqueline Lapidas and Lise Menn and published by Kent State University Press<\/strong><\/a>. There’s a nice write-up of the book by Bella English<\/strong> in The <\/strong><\/em>Boston Globe<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/a>Wally Swist<\/strong><\/a> emailed me with good news: a forthcoming book just announced by Lamar University Press.<\/strong><\/a> The Daodejing<\/strong><\/em> is a new unique translation\u00a0by three poets\/scholars. (David Breeden, Steven Schroeder, and Wally Swis<\/strong>t).\u00a0 Lamar University Press <\/strong><\/em>describes the result of the multiple-step collaboration: <\/strong>“The Daodejing <\/strong><\/em>is both the old one with all its majesty and a new one offered in twenty-first century American English as wielded by true experts: poets who will not and cannot divorce meaning from form.”<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/a>\"\"<\/a>Ellen Bass<\/a><\/strong> has a new book out: Like a Beggar<\/strong><\/em>, from Copper Canyon Press. Here’s how Ellen Bass describes it on her site: “Like a Beggar<\/strong><\/em> is the work of a mature poet grappling with the most essential question–how do we go on?”<\/p>\n

Joe Meno<\/strong><\/a> shared an essay “True Confessions of a Reluctant Vegetarian” in Chicago Magazine<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

And in an act of blatant self-promotion, I will mention again that I have a story (“So we die”<\/strong>)\u00a0 in the latest issue\u00a0 (#11) of Cobalt<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
