One of my summer tasks was to do a closet cull. It hasn't happened yet. Could still happen, I suppose!
Another one was to put together a chapbook of poetry. I have been working on that a bit. I started wondering today... if that should be two chapbooks.
Instead of trying to force the nature pieces and the family/politics pieces into the same space, perhaps they should each have a separate volume? It might be easier to articulate a theme that way.
A lot of the time, the nature compositions are untethered--they matter to me at the moment of writing, but may not be interesting to anyone else because they don't tell a story. I'd be sad to lose all of them though.
