I write about Dan Fogelberg’s third album, Captured Angel, on my blog (link in bio) today as part of my occasional “Fogelberg Files” series. Overall: Not great, but not bad. #danfogelberg

Don’t think I needed a “Certificate of Authenticity” - I’d recognize that scrawl anywhere! #courtneymarieandrews #oldmonarchs #booksandwhatnot

Tyler, the night owl. #catsofinstagram #cats

On the docket for this morning: One of my favorites by #jonimitchell, Ladies of the Canyon. #classicalbums #nowplaying

For #nationalpoetrymonth - a poem I wrote almost 35 years ago, influenced in equal measures by Kate Chopin, Salvador Dali and Wallace Stevens. My poetry prof, John Haag, liked it a lot (that’s his scribble flipping “know” and “now” at the end). #poetry #yearslongago

After much hemming and hawing, I updated the look of my blog (link in bio) yesterday. My plan was to write about the reasons why today, but...the latest EP from #LoneHollow caught my ear. It’s strong stuff. #newmusic #newrelease

I write about Courtney Marie Andrews’ poetry collection, Old Monarch, on my blog today. (Link in bio.) It’s worth the read (or listen, as it’s also available as an audiobook.) #courtneymarieandrews #firstread #poetry

Courtney Marie Andrews’ poetry collection is worth the investment. The #audiobook version is cool, too, as she reads the poems. She creates vivid word pictures. #poetry #nationalpoetrymonth #book #courtneymarieandrews
