The Dangerous Poet

April 26, 2007 By

I wanted to bring to your attention an incident that happened last week on a college campus here in the United States. It didn’t involve murder or guns – but it certainly involved fear. The poet/professor affected was a classmate of mine when I was in graduate school. I am extremely confident that this man could not hurt a fly, let alone inflict the danger imagined.

Poetry is Dangerous, by Kazim Ali.

This issue is very, very complicated, especially given the world we live in today – but I thought it was important and I felt I needed to share it with you.

Picked up the new VK yesterday and this caught my eye….

And wouldn’t you know it, while I was surfing the blogs today I found this:

So I joined up! The Tahki is really expensive so I’m thinking I’m going to go with Cascade Magnum. I just love this bag. It’s so not me, but I think it would make a nice yarn bag or something as decoration, not necessarily as a bag per se.

School Daze is coming along better than I ever expected. It looks EXACTLY like I wanted it to. Neckband’s done. One armband is done, but needs to be ripped a couple of rows – I think it’s too wide, next armband, seams and …. expect a picture on Friday.

I’m ready. Are you?
