a bird in the hand…

March 31, 2015March 1, 2016 kineticprose

I’ve made several bird-inspired books over the years. Their shapes are perfect for non-traditional book binding: wings or feathers can act as pages, after all. And when you imagine what the bird has to say beyond its specific song, it’s … Continue reading a bird in the hand…

March 16, 2015July 31, 2015 kineticprose

I am so ridiculously excited to share today’s launch of The Baltimore Ekphrasis Project, a collaboration between LED Baltimore and my journal The Light Ekphrastic. Not only is there a gigantic special issue online, the work of all 66 Baltimore-area … Continue reading words & images x 66…

life moves pretty fast…

December 31, 2014July 30, 2015 kineticprose

Wow, 2014…you went by in a flash! As the great Ferris Bueller once said: “If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” We certainly don’t want that. At a time when we’re thinking … Continue reading life moves pretty fast…

October 11, 2014July 30, 2015 kineticprose

And here’s the result of the Baltimore Portrait Project! Our portraits — my book-y one of Paola (top), and her Star Wars-y one of me — are up on the big LED board on Charles Street in Baltimore’s Station North, … Continue reading attack of the 50-foot portraits…

September 21, 2014July 30, 2015 kineticprose

I’ve mentioned before how terrific Baltimore is for artists and writers. It seems like opportunities come fast and furious here, and it’s often just as much about connecting people as it is about the work itself. The last few weeks, … Continue reading pop-up portrait of paola…

June 23, 2014July 30, 2015 kineticprose

Sometimes a project comes along that’s too cool to pass up, even when you think you’ll probably have to build a time machine to finish on time. In this case, it was an art show benefit for Baltimore poetry group … Continue reading but all she believes in…

falling behind, catching up…

June 22, 2014July 30, 2015 kineticprose

I’m a deadline person. I love/need them, especially when art is concerned (second only to that other all-powerful motivator, guilt). Lately, though, I’ve surrendered to the idea that being a little behind is not only an inescapable fact, but an … Continue reading falling behind, catching up…

March 8, 2014July 30, 2015 kineticprose

As with so many of the pieces of my life that have fallen woefully behind lately, I hereby submit shots from my show at D Center in Baltimore, which happened waaaaaaaay back in December. The exhibit was called “b is … Continue reading b is for better late than never…

February 5, 2014July 30, 2015 kineticprose

(And, no, that’s not a typo.) Talking to students and strangers about my particular brand of bookiness and poetry can sometimes be a little weird at the beginning. It generally starts with an awkward self-deprecating intro, followed by assorted blank … Continue reading 11 book for 13 schools…

The big kick-off for ‘b’ is for Baltimore: Baker Artist Awards 2013 b-grant Winners at D Center in Baltimore is nearly here…whee! Stop by the opening reception on Thursday, December 5, 5-7 p.m., to see several of my books along … Continue reading an exciting week ahead…
