Gene Myers – poet & journalist. His column is The Joy of Life. Bill Cosby, Steve Martin, Coleman Barks, Jane Hirshfield, Charles Simic, Pete Seeger, Wynton Marsalis, Gregg Allman, Brandi Carlile, Aimee Mann… Interviews that go deeper.
‘Fantastic! Please don't let it get around that you write a damn good mom column or I'll be out of a job!’ Columnist, Tracy Beckerman, Lost in Suburbia.
‘Gene Myers' column "Have An Idea?" in the Cliffside Park Citizen was excellent.
"No sentence uttered ever matches the spark of its epiphany."
You'd have to go back to the work of E.B. White (of The New Yorker) to match the creativity Myers displayed, in his persuasive admonition to readers that to remain inspired, you have to remain silent.
‘I look forward to reading your articles on a regular basis especially as they pertain to the joys of life and your son Owen. You see, my son is almost one year old. It seems that everything you write abœout touches me personally. Topics I can relate to... I look forward to more of your articles as well as the antics of Owen…’
Fireflies keep shining well after night has taken hold. If you mean something different, you need to think about your commas.
It’s just the last firefly before the little girl goes to bed!
ask every word…
last firefly
cupped gently –
night takes hold

I wonder about something like:

her last firefly
cupped gently

porch light –
her last firefly
cupped gently
I couldn’t seem to find the right L1, but just wanted to show you this form.
