Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July from the North Coast! This is the first of a series of posts from my new blog, named for my book of poems, Sort of Gone, published in February 2008 by Turning Point Books in Cincinnati, but also named for the state of mind writers enter when they're working well. You're there in whatever place you're writing--home desk, Starbucks, bed--but you're sort of gone to whatever place one goes to when you're writing. 

I can't think of a place I'd rather be!
