Starbucking
After a long morning of yard work, I feel I have earned an afternoon at Starbucks. It's a warm and sunny day outside, so not crowded at all. I have a great table by the window. I may take over a second spot to really spread out. Or not.
"The Girl From Ipanema" is playing over my head. I think it's the Diana Krall version.

I'm tweaking a recently written poem so I can send it out in a batch for publication. Also, I'm revising manuscript #2. The work continues.

Books/publications I have brought with me for inspiration:
If you haven't picked up the latest issue of Poetry, check out the photography and words of Thomas Sayers Ellis. Brilliant.
Admittedly, I don't read Poetry often but I was surprised to see a piece by Nikki Giovanni. Very cool.
