During a dinner I had with Jay Udall, he said, "Writing poetry is dancing with the dwende," a line that has stuck with me since. Beyond just poetry, any creative act is ultimately based in the idea of reaching out and touching the mythical, of embracing the unknown and unknowable. This blog is about the dance.

Check This Out
While I was browsing for arguments as part of preparing for my Comp. class tomorrow - their next assignment is going to be an argument critique, and where better to go than MSN? - I found something nifty: The Napkin Project. Esquire magazine mailed cocktail napkins to various writers, who wrote on them and sent them back. Check out the archives and take note of some of these titles. When you've only got a cocktail napkin's worth of story, title is everything.
