Susan, this meandering creative interruption is fodder indeed for more creativity. The marginalia is a gift all its own in that volume of poetry you found. Very fun.
I have a copy of Emily Dickinson's poems that someone used in college and her notes and underlines are like a glimpse into a bit of history, you know?

gathering poems for a new book of poetry is a daunting task! (ask me how I know :-).
Wishing you well!
And thanks for the book rec's; I needed the reminder about Seth's photography....
I LOVE that there is evidence that all the things I do in my (non)writing time are actually helping me be more creative! Haven’t I always known this to be true? I’m a “slow processor,” I need to “sit with” things...all the while that little light is twinkling in the back of my mind...and that’s ok. And I can’t wait to see what comes out of your procrastination!
I eventually found my way back to the piles, managed to get a post together for The Writist so all was not lost. I love the idea of a 'little light...twinkling" -what a great way to describe it! Your twinklings always sparkle when they appear!!

Cheers!
I do hope you'll pick up a copy of his book- it is way more than a book of images!
I love this Susan! I often find my procrastination serves a good purpose!
Thanks Deborah!
