Another fine fall Monday is upon us; I am teaching a gym class today, which is nice and relaxed. Last block I had Alt PE, which was a lot of fun! The kids may have learning disabilities, but they are really sweet, fun people! I think they liked me; I played all their games with them. Why not? It was great exercise!
I have to come up with something in the next month or so for this visual/textual art project at my MFA program for the winter residency. Some other women in the program have devised a plan for a project that combines the written word with visual art-- the theme is "On the Line." All of the pieces brought in will combine to create one large piece, displayed on a clothes line which I believe will be outside, vulnerable to the elements and the changes that can take place because of them. That aspect of it reminds me of an artist featured in Words & Images when I was on the staff. She constructed these canopies over an orchard and took photographs of the changes that took place in the fabric and the natural world. Really a very cool thing to look at.
Speaking of Words and Images, I'm gearing up to send poems to them for the 2008 journal. I have a few other contests and such to consider too; I'm sick of waiting for nothing! The only way I'm going to get published is to get the stuff out there! So although I probably won't hear from them for a few months after I submit, I will update on that! I plan to write a longer post tomorrow, maybe something lofty and theoretical. Maybe I'll start a "Poetic Theory Tuesdays" type of thing! I think I need more structure here, and that could provide it!
