Sleep will come,
when you’re not looking.
Morning will come, and breakfast,
and things that should be easy
will be easy once more.
It’s the Walk of Life.
You’ve walked it before
and you will walk it again.
Shhh now beloved.”

More on Jack McCarthy, this time for Telegram.com. I wanted to focus in on what he meant to this community.

Prompt & Poem: I, Earth: Part I
My friend and fellow poet Denise Jolly (@djolly6) held a writing workshop here in Portland recently while on tour. Everyone who attended produced some great work from her elegantly simple prompt:
If ________ could speak, it might say…
UPDATE: Please visit Denise at DeniseJollySpoken.com
And here’s what it spawned from me—a serial poem in progress.
I, Earth: Part I
Opening Statements
Had I known that
by changing myself
from within that
it would lend to
human separation,
division and strife
I would have done
it much sooner.
I move because
I want to and, moreso,
because I need to.
Like so many creatures,
at my core is a heart
so violent that it is
constantly trying
to destroy itself
We’re not that
different. But we
are not one. The
first glaring difference
between us is that
I never needed you
to be here.

Uncle Robot Summer Pack!
UPDATE: I’ve added a second book to the pack for you to hoard or give away to someone who needs a little mighty…
This is my new chapbook of writings. I make it myself. I like handmade things. I like mailing handmade things to people who like them too. I recently created this limited edition (to 111) chapbook called Uncle Robot because I make my living through poetry and love it. I am extra pleased because it consists of writings from the last year except for the titular poem, which I wrote in 2007 the day after Kurt Vonnegut died.
This chapbook comes with a download code for my digital album Sweet Nuggets. Soooo…
I present the Uncle Robot Summer Pack for $20
and it comes with:
Or you can choose the chapbook/album only from the drop-down menu. Only $10.
NOTE: Be sure to visit my albums to denote which one you want a code for! CLICK HERE TO PERUSE MY AUDIO.
AND! Be sure to designate who I’ll sign the book for, or email me with instructions after you’ve ordered or send me your number and we’ll talk it over some coffee/tea.
