Markers. Ants. Tectonics. X. & Pain. & Illness.

This year’s Levis Prize Winner was Katie Ford, for her collection of poetry, Colosseum.

This photographic post is also going to become my first test of the Google AdSense code, we’ll see what happens. HA! It works. And vaguely appropriate Google choices too. Fun. Fun. Fun. Maybe not very artistic though?

August edit. I can’t believe I forgot to post a link to Mitch’s site: This opens Mitchell Wright Dot Org in its own window, it’s a wide site, by the way.

I was going through my old negatives from the Mississippi State Days of Glory, and found this photograph, which, I believe, shows the now famous artist Mitchell Wright in his early days of thought.

I have others. But this one seemed the most appropriate, all things considered. I’m a sappy guy, and I miss those good old days hanging out on the stair steps at some Mississippi State building.

Later, I hope to find the Polaroid which, I think, shows Mitchell in the good old days hanging out in front of a Mexican Restaurant.

But, one photo at a time, as my mom used to say.

I don’t normally draw out my poem structures beforehand, but I thought I’d give it a try, and this is the result.

I thought it might be interesting to anyone who wonders how such things burble in my poetry mind.
