  • Media Reviews Re: The Secret Lives of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

    I read it a few weeks ago, and like you I was struck by the simplicity and elegance of her prose. I'll add my recommendation to yours: definitely a must-read! ...

  • General Fiction Short Stories Re: East of the Sun, West of the Moon

    Another retelling of Psyche and Eros :D I found the twist with the vampires interesting, and the story itself was fairly well plotted. A few things I noticed: 1. Your ...

  • Other Poetry Re: Synesthesia

    I agree with timjim that this seems like a vaguely focused defense of synesthesia. There were some interesting ideas in there, and I would love to see this topic explored ...

  • Other Poetry Re: First

    I like your premise here, and for the most part the execution is good. But I think it gets weak and a bit flabby in the middle - specifically, after ...

  • Other Poetry Re: Right here right now

    Like ringo_rules, I'm not much of a haiku fan, but they can be done really well when the words and ideas are chosen and constructed carefully. Unfortunately, I don't feel ...

  • Narrative Poetry Re: I'll Miss You.

  • Lyric Poetry Re: One in Need

    Mm. You have some interesting imagery in this, but IMHO it fails due to the fact that nothing is really connected and, ultimately, nothing happens. This poem feels stillborn: several ...
