Baltimore Is Reads
So, no -- this is not the months-delinquent third chapter of my serial novel, but I swear that's on its way. It's just that I'm busy. Busier than anybody.Like, for instance, my MFA colleague Natalie and I are doing this class project, right, that incorporates literature and the senses. We're going to post short work around Baltimore in store windows, abandoned buildings, telephone polls, and things like that. Ingeniously, we're calling it "Baltimore is Reads." You can follow along with the project from its very beginnings at this website: www.baltimoreisreads.com.
We need pieces that we can hang. If you get a chance, can you send me a short poem or something like that? Since we'll probably be formatting the work onto, say, legal sized paper, your writing will have to be very short. It should be short enough that it can attract a passerby's attention from a few feet away as they pass, um, by.
Maybe you can also get your kids to write one, and your spouses? I would have asked them, but I can't remember their names.
Take a little time, write a couple lines, and send it to me at: bir@baltimoreisreads.com. Or send an email there for more specific information. It's pretty much a guaranteed publishing credit.
