Feeding the Esquires
TB corrected me, pointing out that they're not technically esquires until they pass the bar. I thought that was what made them lawyers, I thought esquire came after law school. But what do I know? I have an MFA.
Anyhoo, TB and Alex (sister-in-law) were over today for our small family Memorial Day BBQ. It was raining, so we had to have it indoors.
Below are some pictures (including what we served -- I thought Tony might appreciate that). Speaking of Tony, I'm in the middle of reading his manuscript, lucky error, which is striking me as merciful and generous, a little like Amy Gerstler's poems. I'm liking them, so far.

Why am I folding laundry? Because I had to empty my dryer so TB could make use of it. I'm starting to think that's the only reason she ever visits.

Reb--
Thanks for the photos. The kabobs look nice, but I'd have to request mine without mushrooms. I have a fatal allergy. Or I just don't like them. I'd rather have mayonnaise.
If my ms. is "merciful" and "generous" yours is somewhat merciless, disturbing, and overall, a pretty interesting ride. The poems attract and repel with equal force. And some of them are simply lovely despite the surface grit. I should introduce you to my friend/co-editor Nick. I think you're kindred poetry souls. (though he would frown at your Dean Young reference...)
I'll backchannel a more generous review soon.
Wait-- those aren't mushrooms...they're onions! I'll take mine with extra onions.
Damn straight those are onions. I'm anti-mushroom too.
Looking forward to your review. Still reading yours. I was goofing off this weekend.
I came for the beef, not the facilities.
Bigger is better!
TB
