New. New. New.

Wilderness


Only you
can prevent
unplanned pregnancy

it might be
the skin you
want– but just don’t want

or so he
says to his
disciples who hear

her face is
beautiful
but so is freedom

strike a match
throw it in
that dark–watch it burn

forget how
soft her legs
have felt on your hand

Coralie Bickford-Smith



...is a genious! She is a senior book designer at Penguin and the creator of THIS collection of covers. I fell in love with these last fall before the first set of limited edition books were released.

I got a few for christmas and since then have been finding them randomly in different bookstores!

Zak just got me two more so now my total is up to 7!!

The next batch doesn't come out until september, but I have pre ordered two more so I am SO excited for them to be shipped the day they come out! I don't think of myself as much of a collector but my one weakness is books so these were a PERFECT addition to my already growing book collection. So thrilled!

ahhhhh --



this song makes me want to weep tears of joy for how amazing it is.

This makes me happy.



I was so nervous about going on my trip because I didn't really know anyone.
Turns out, everyone who went from Chapman was awesome!
We only spent four days together, but I will have happy memories
of those days for a really long time.

Thanks guys.

In an 8.5.
The end.

St. Louis!

The trip was great!! I feel like it went by really fast, and even with this horrible cold I had the whole time, I enjoyed every minute of it! It was a good mix of business and pleasure!

I got to see Busch Stadium, The Arch, downtown St. Louis, and even found a cool independent book store a couple blocks from our hotel (which, of course, I ended up buying 5 books at - one that I found in the used books section from the 1920's that is a Children's book of Shakespeare "Stories" - AWESOME!)

My presentations went really well, I presented a poem and a short-story. I got some really good feed back on both, one guy gave me some awesome comments on my short-story, which was greatly appreciated coming from a complete stranger!

Ten of us flew out there from Chapman and we ended up all hanging out together the majority of the time which was really cool. Seven of the others were grad students, so I am sad to know I wont be seeing them in class now that we are back, but I have a good feeling I will still be seeing them around in the future.


Overall, It was a really fun trip!
