Listen, I thought I’d seen it all up here at the top of the universe, what with the gods’ and goddesses’ perverse antics. Have I ever claimed that gods and goddesses aren’t a jealous lot? Have I ever suggested they aren’t easily insulted– particularly by mortals? So I let this story about the pop …
“Forget this silly internet,” someone announced at a party at Bacchus’s place the other night, “You only meet your soulmate at a friend’s house.” “Or at work,” a goddess chimed in. “Or at a party,” said Bacchus, pouring out to excess a superb Corton Charlemagne into everyone’s goblet . “That was a long time ago,” I …
Karen Glenn, my good friend who lives in Carbondale, Colorado, has been sending out poetry each week to her friends and colleagues for years. I read every one of them, not only because I love Karen but because her taste is so uncannily good. Karen, a gifted poet herself, has an instinct for poems …
