I wouldn’t write at all if it weren’t
for myriad writers before me whose works showed me what was possible. The poems
of this series are small offerings of respect, of thanks, to those muses. –
Brian Beatty
Robert Creeley
The stories
I told for years
all ended
when audiences
like forests
suddenly
filled with
light
through the trees
only wanted
to hear their
own
obituaries.

I wouldn't know about Black Mountain College if it weren't for reading Creeley, and that institution has always served as my model for the idea(ls) of an arts education.
