It's almost summertime.
Remember when that meant we had lots of time to play? Tag, Red Rover, Hide and Seek, and games we made up as we went along. As a poet I learn over and over how play sets the imagination to work and I surprise myself into writing something fresh and new. Moving through the squares of hopscotch with my grandchildren leads to a phrase "the rock falls on the line more often now" and I can feel a wave of language and song pushing me toward paper.
It is in this sense of play that I will offer a writing class the first week of August at Ghost Ranch called Rock, Paper, Scissor: Writing from Choice and Chance.
