a) Nic Sebastian hasn’t written a poem in more than two months
b) There is no room in Nic Sebastian’s junk-yard/creepy-attic/stale-leftovers -packed head for poetry at the moment
c) Nic Sebastian is no longer a poet
d) The angels are weeping for Nic Sebastian
a, b, and d are true. c is false.
I’ve been dry, too. Way too busy. Just keep reading.
I’m the same. I think it’s called “finished the manuscript of first collection syndrome.” I think I might do a blog post about this. It seems very common.
Yes. keep reading. And what about some revison, rewriting of some of your old stuff?

It’s just for fun (you can cheat, too, and take longer), but it might loosen up the writing thingie that’s not working at the moment (and of course it happens to us all from time to time).
And congratulations on getting published in “Valparaiso Poetry Review”; it’s a very fine journal with high standards, so to get published there is very impressive.
Yeah, I’ve found it hard writing these past few months, too. Post an update and let us know how you’re doing.
The angels are weeping for us all. We’re all going to die. And in such a short time. The angels look down and see the flicker of human lives and sigh, and tears fall from their eyes.
Howard, January,Glenn – thanks for dropping by, great to hear from you!
