Tunnel Vision

Nobody wants to enter the tunnel

But to get from here to there

We must pass through its blind walls
 
Travel with trust that we will

Be greeted by light

On the other side.

Presenting at the 2015 UW Madison's Writers Institute.

This spring I will be doing two presentations at the UW Madison Writer's Institute. One will focus on book trailers - what are they, why would you want one for your book, and how do you go about creating one. The other workshop will include my friend and creative collaborator Irene MacFarland. We will talk about our six year project in which we swap work on a monthly basis and create a new piece based on the prompt.

You can get more details about these - and many other - workshops at https://uwwritersinstitute.wisc.edu/?source=uwwritersinstitute.org.

Obedient pans hang in rows

dangling above the steam,

a free spa treatment while they

await employment.

Some will enjoy a long slow burn

teasing the sweet release of

aromatic garlic, onion and herbs.

Others will know dangerous heat

searing flesh infused with time tested sauces

dangerous, delectable and

quickly finished.
