Something to Ponder About The Snow Melts Somewhere
Paris, 7 A.M. – Book Review
Paris, 7 A.M. Before reading Paris, 7 A.M. by Liza Wieland, I could not have told you more than two things about Elizabeth Bishop. She was a woman. She was a poet.

Interview with . . . Aree and the Pure Heart
Aree and the Pure Heart is not the first band that has reminded me of the soundtrack for the movie “Eddie and the Cruisers.” However, Aree and the Pure Heart is more punk rock mixed with a Tom Waits attitude.

Interview with . . . Jon Haggerty
Jon Haggerty reminds me of the future and the past. He reminds me that my kids will be bringing home friends from college.

AContinue reading “Interview with . . . Jon Haggerty”
