In honor of Robert Hass’s wonderful summer poem, “Meditation at Lagunitas,” write a poem about blackberry picking.
“Such tenderness, those afternoons and evenings,
saying blackberry, blackberry, blackberry.”

Hi! I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I love reading your blog. I’m not sure if you’re still teaching at UPS anymore, but I hope you are because I loved your classes!
Hi Alyssa—many thanks for the kind words, and for reading the blog! I am not at UPS anymore–it’s a long story. But I’m very glad we can still keep in touch. Please drop me an e-mail or Facebook message to let me know how you are doing! (kikugirl at kikugirl dot net)
