The paid-subscriber version of The Sharpener includes weekly installments of craft pieces, approaches to writing problems, topics in contemporary publishing for writers, and biographical features on poets I consider important.
Diaz's It Was the Animals, then the Painted Bird excerpt (it is from the Painted Bird, isn't it?). Jeez.
I just checked to make sure all my doors are locked and turned all my lights on.
I love addresses of animals and the natural world. Saroyan's poem is vivid and strong. I love his poems.
