the book and the window
I imagine, before anything, I must apologize for being so silent here for so long. Many of you may have forgotten about me. I have still be writing; most significantly, constructing a long poem that a particular dear girl in Seattle might turn into a chapbook. I have most of it down, but its still restless and continuously wanting to eat itself. I'm collaging a lot of it from the worn and rain-damaged notebook I've been carrying around with me for the last year or so. I've never written a 'long poem' before and don't know exactly what I'm doing. If anyone has any advice or recommendations for things I should read, let me know.
The main point of this post is something else, though. I'll be traveling up to Ottawa/Montreal and then New York, in August. Will be in Ottawa from the 9th to the 19th, then probably spend a few days in Montreal then go to New York for a week. My girl, Megan, will be joining me for most of it. Would anyone around these parts like to have drinks with us at your favorite bar? Or show us around somewhere? We're up for anything really. Likewise if you've familiar with these cities and know awesome things to check out, do tell.
Thanks, people. I can't promise to post more writings soon, but a good scolding/encouragement might just do the trick. Hope you all are well.
yours,
Raoul
