"I’d never been so jealous of a cigarette in my life, so envious of ash, to glow from the touch of her lips, to fall at her feet and be completely consumed."

I never actually think anyone will read what I write, but when there's a positive indication, such as this photo taken in a local high school, I get all jammed up.

Thanks. Can't believe I only just discovered Andrew's writing. It was through @ninaschuyler.bsky.social's Stunning Sentences series. She profiled him earlier this month. I haven't stopped reading since.

I worked on my story, The Inn of Frozen Things, in @tommydeanwriter.bsky.social ky.social 's Settings Workshop.

Tommy's a fantastic teacher. Thanks to his insights, my story was published by Atticus Review, then selected for the Wigleaf Top 50. I highly recommend signing up for his classes.

Allen Ginsberg Remembers Mama (Published 1972)

So interesting. I look forward to reading it.

Seeing Naomi Ginsberg on the list lead me to a 1972 NYT interview with Allen Ginsberg. Fascinating. www.nytimes.com/1972/02/06/a...
