		<title>Louis Jenkins/Prose Poetry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve listened to The Writer&#8217;s Almanac every morning for some number of years now. It comes up in the Morning Coffee feature on my Mozilla browser. I listen to it, download the mp3 then stash it in my bloated iTunes folder. Sometimes the Shuffle function picks up a bite sized version of literary history or [...]]]></description>

		<title>Album Review: Wavves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I pulled out my in-ear Skull Candy headphones and mentioned to a co-worker (who is terribly up on what is up) that I was listening to the newest Wavves album, King Of The Beach he recoiled some. He expressed quite a bit of trepidation with embracing the band, particularly based on the lyrical content [...]]]></description>

		<title>Album Review: The James Mini-Albums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Formative music. The broad category that is. Perhaps the only way to chop down the category is to call it formative music still of interest. Morrissey. Guided By Voices. Joy Division. To a lesser extent, They Might Be Giants and the Beatles. Some things just stick to your bones and never quite grow old. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Updates Of Joy and Disappointing Nature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Poetry: In my hands is the Dos Passos Review Volume #7, Issue #1. On its 46th page is the poem, &#8220;South China Sea&#8221; &#8212; my poem. I&#8217;m critical of it. I don&#8217;t like the spacing &#8212; I like my poems bunchy, contained. Some of my lines, now that they are memorialized on paper don&#8217;t spring [...]]]></description>

		<title>Breakthrough(s)/Switchback(s)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve pined for a breakthrough. Something to re-invigorate. In the weeks prior to my anniversary in late May, I felt a strong pull to get away from the emotional dependence on writing. In spite of the strong flow of story (evidenced by the stacks of sketches on the desk) my sense was that the emotional [...]]]></description>

		<title>Summer Focus: A ChapBook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While some people in my life still revere the book and might tell me that my perspective on publishing is dour, I think the time is running short for an aspiring writer to see their words in print. In this month&#8217;s Atlantic there is an article which foretells a better time for content creators, writers, [...]]]></description>

		<title>elimae: Ghost Story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Without much adieu, here is the poem &#8220;Ghost Story&#8221; as published on-line by elimae magazine. Click here for the poem. To make appropriate note, this poem took on a radical change in publication. It was, as written, a landscape poem; it wasn&#8217;t meant to be written and viewed in portrait form. The editor, Coop Renner [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poem Picked Up: Dos Passos Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite of my own poems, &#8220;South China Sea&#8221; has been picked up. Finally. After dozens of submissions. I received word last week from the Dos Passos Review out of Longwood, Virginia that they were accepting it for June of 2010 and may also consider it for their website. This is exciting and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death, A Conversation, Turning A Poetic Corner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the phone yesterday. A lot, it turned out although the morning didn&#8217;t promise such a thing. With a sick dog in my life who eventually passed in the early evening, it felt like I was always talking to someone. Always relaying messages and information. The vet and her advice. My wife who was in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Scott Walker/Reclusiveness/This Writer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Watched the documentary Scott Walker: 30 Century Man two nights ago. In the other room, Lisa was watching Lost getting wrapping into these last few, precious episodes. In the other room my indulgence was 60&#8242;s pop/rock leading into 90&#8242;s/00&#8242;s avant-garde. My loose infatuation with Walker goes back to living in the Sellwood neighborhood. Kell Dockham [...]]]></description>
