Three Beautiful Things 06/26/08: Silence Broken, Appearances' Reality, Licorice and Beer


1. At tonight's open mic session at the writing retreat, Julie and Betty each read a poem they had written after being quiet all week. Their work was roundly appreciated and the group took great joy in hearing from them.

2. Duane is writing a series of Studs Terkel-like interviews. They are fictional, located in a fictional town named Appearances, WA. They are works of genius; each character's voice is authentic, unique. The attitudes and experiences these characters unfold upon being asked who the most influential person in Basalt county blow my mind.

3. Bev kindly asked me to join her in reading a script she had written entitled "Licorice and Beer", and we gave our reading to the writing retreaters. It is a lovely script and reading it with Bev was a lot of fun.

Dang, I have read your post 3 times...word for word. Any nary a mention of 'beer' which, of course, drew me to read. HA!
