A Brilliant Shade of Red. KT's reading and writing blog. Monday, June 18, 2012. Monday Morning Quote: George Bilgere on Inspiration.

A Brilliant Shade of Red. KT's reading and writing blog. Monday, May 28, 2012. Monday Morning Quote: Maxine Kumin on Dreams.

We hold hard to those we love even as they die away from us and we continue to pursue them, through dreams into poems. 8212;Maxine Kiumin, Always Beginning. Friday, May 25, 2012. The World We F...

A Brilliant Shade of Red. KT's reading and writing blog. Monday, July 23, 2012. Monday Morning Quote: Mary Ruefle on Beginnings. T]he lesson is always the same, and young poets recognize this to be one of the most important lessons they can learn: If you have any idea for a poem, an exact grid of intent, you are on the wrong path, a dead-end alley, and the top of a cliff you haven't even climbed. This is a lesson that can only be learned by trial and error. 8212; Mary Ruefle. In her essay "On Beginnings,".

A Brilliant Shade of Red. KT's reading and writing blog. Monday, February 27, 2012. Monday Morning Quote: Kim Addonizio on Demons.

What feeling of accomplishment would you get from doing what is easy, what anyone can do without trying? Once you do that, other demons will show up. 8212;Kim Addonizio, Ordinary Genius.
