Spring Fourth is the #GlobalPoetryWritingMonth #APoemADay pamphlet in the Purloin Like a Poet series. As Marianne Moore wrote: "Poetry. I too, dislike it: There are things that are important beyond all this fiddle." Yet, we are interested in it! I scribble , dribble and doodle.
I sculpt in clay for bronzing; paint anything under the sun; write children's stories and illustrate them. I read a lot.
When I'm not in the studio covered in paint; working on a new picture story; doodling cartoons, or reading; I reluctantly go to the gym. (In the basement, now!) Or travel to far-off places. (BC)
I once lived in a rainforest.
Once upon a time I worked as an engineer on secret projects. And also underground in a gold mine.
I have a lot of Neanderthal DNA. Relatively speaking.
