Erica Jong, Seducing the Demon That rings uncomfortably true for me. I'm all too apt to abandon pieces in draft, because they don't seem to be going anywhere. I shudder to think of how much of Migritude I would have discarded, instead of letting it come to fruition, if it hadn't been for my director Kim telling me to hold onto it: There's something there. posted by shailja at 6:59 AM 0 Comments: Post a Comment Links to this post: <$BlogBacklinkTitle$> <$BlogBacklinkSnippet$> posted by <$BlogBacklinkAuthor$> @ <$BlogBacklinkDateTime$> Create a Link << Home Previous Posts thank you!!! last night at the Asian Art Museum within an hour the piece I've been trying to write Dreamed that Israel was bombing Kenya Israeli and Jewish voices against the carnage heartsick blogwatch Poetry on the River Po why should any of us sleep
