Suburbium, L., from the 14thC
I am a suburbanite by will and imagination. I should be embarrassed to write of it, but it’s true. I have friends who grew up on farms, or in small towns across the country and one can even boast that she grew up on the East Coast. My neighbors lived in… Read full post »
The Migratory Patterns of the Northern Species
I am drawn to the North Shore of Lake Superior. A friend of mine attributes the draw to the mineral content in the rock, as though the entire shore is one of those holistic bracelets some people wear. There might be something to this theory; the magnetic properties of… Read full post »

Who says global warming is a myth? During our/… Read full post »
Late Blooms
I finally worked up the courage to enroll in school. I designed my own degree, a B.A. in creative writing, through the College of Continuing Education at the University of Minnesota. I registered for fall classes, picked up my books and my student identification, and rushed h/… Read full post »
Every older student dreads it. You return to school on a puff of ideals, convinced that you are reclaiming an opportunity lost, only to have a nineteen-year-old freshman blow the seeds off your dandelion and return you to/… Read full post »
