January 2, 2013July 30, 2015 kineticprose

Just a quickie post today, as I (and the rest of the world) recover from the holidays and all that, to give a shout out to Fun-A-Day Baltimore. Yeah! Fun-A-Day means spending each day of January doing something awesome. That … Continue reading gee, i love fun-a-day…

a decade of book-y goodness…

December 19, 2012July 30, 2015 kineticprose

It’s often hard to stay focused these days. It’s like there’s a constant gravitational pull from all the important satellites in my life — family, work, creative impulse. I’m thinking someone needs to invent a time machine, stat. Or some … Continue reading a decade of book-y goodness…

tin drum update: the trio is complete…

December 6, 2012July 30, 2015 kineticprose

I know, I can’t quite believe it either. After more than a year of building/writing/sewing, and more than a year before that conceptualizing, I’m finally finished my third and final Tin Drum-inspired poem doll, Oskar. View all three poem dolls … Continue reading tin drum update: the trio is complete…

tyvek and vertigo…

December 3, 2012July 30, 2015 kineticprose

Our little art group met again recently, and what a fun time we had with this quarter’s theme: Vertigo. We all absolutely love this Hitchcock film, and as expected, it served as a well of inspiration to all. There were … Continue reading tyvek and vertigo…

b is for “blown away”…

November 29, 2012July 30, 2015 kineticprose

I’m a little behind on posting my big news, and I could easily blame “Life” or projects, or whatever. But superstition is a better reason, I think, since I hate to think of jinxing things, and it sounds cute and … Continue reading b is for “blown away”…

November 10, 2012July 30, 2015 kineticprose

Sometimes it’s nice to have a good reason to make something. So, when my friend John pointed me in the direction of an artful letters campaign, I knew I had to join in. The purpose is to create artistic letters … Continue reading art-full letters…

some not-so-light reading…

September 26, 2012July 30, 2015 kineticprose

I get this question a lot: As a maker of books, how do I feel about e-readers? Ask my heart, and she will enthusiastically answer “BOOKS!” Ask my brain, and she will thoughtfully tell you about the time she was … Continue reading some not-so-light reading…

Two of my poems — “Canvas,” and “Lemon Tree” — are featured in today’s online version of The Rusty Nail, forthcoming in print. This link goes directly to the poems. Both of these poems are part of a bigger project … Continue reading poems in the rusty nail…

good morning, my eye…

August 12, 2012July 30, 2015 kineticprose

For those familiar with The Light Ekphrastic, you know how much I enjoy the process of reacting to someone else’s painting — or words, or song, or anything — and using that interaction to create something new. Recently, a few … Continue reading good morning, my eye…

from one book, another…

August 7, 2012July 30, 2015 kineticprose

Normally, I don’t cut up books — I make new ones from scratch. But, when the Light Street Branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library announced a “Between the Covers” altered book competition this summer, I knew I had to … Continue reading from one book, another…
