My poem "Double Business" is now online at Interfictions. With some irony, I remember it was written for ajodasso in May 2012 when they had a really nasty ear infection; now it's May 2014 and I just made an appointment with an ENT. This poem was once the recipient of one of the most off-side compliments I've ever received: it was rejected for containing too much quotation. The only Shakespeare in it is the title: and like a man to double business bound, I stand in pause where I shall first begin, and both neglect. I was really flattered.

My mother just sent the following text: "Kitten Day Kitten Day take the rugs off the floor Rush the dust right out the door because it's Kitten Day." We're getting a ride from audioboy and heading over to Angell within the hour. By the time I post again, there should be actual cats in this house. My bio is out of date!

I can't promise I'll get around to writing up the ART's Tempest, which derspatchel and I saw last night, but it has some excellent things going for it, especially its music, its magic, and Ariel. It is always instructive for me to learn what I consider most essential about a play from seeing someone else direct it differently.

Kitten Day!

Happy kitten day!
I would be extremely interested to hear what you have to say about that production of The Tempest. I saw a poster for it on the T while I was in town for my sister's graduation, and became immediately sad that I won't be able to get back up there to see it. I can at least hop that Tom Waits will put out a CD of the songs from the show.

Is this the same production where Teller of Penn & Teller fame is doing the stage magic? I was sad to hear that it was already sold out (in addition to being all the way in Boston).

The same! I didn't realize it was sold out already. Damn. Maybe it'll come to New York.

I am glad that my most epic ear infection to date resulted in such an excellent poem, however, and I am glad that said poem has finally found a home :)

Thank you! Don't ever give me that kind of inspiration again!
