		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m way behind in getting this introductory post out because we&#8217;ve spent ages battling HTML code problems. Transferring material from sites seems to bring with it masses of random, stowaway code that changes font size, removes paragraph breaks, jams the text into narrow-spaced lines. It&#8217;s a nuisance. But anyhow, here we are at last, with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Tasting Rhubarb






amazing
how something
so plain pleases
how
drawn I
am to this
quiet
angularity and
its matching shadows
&#160;
I
imagine myself
pulling up a
chair
and laying
my head on
the
table top
rubbing my hot
cheek
on the
cool white surface
before
I pick
up my pen
and
write only
small smooth words

In 1990, teenaged girls from across the land began to fantasize about becoming prostitutes and then getting picked up by an absurdly sexy investment banker who would hire them for a week before falling passionately in love. If all went according to plan, our investment banker would be tall and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ From Incurable Logophilia
I find Helen of Troy one of the most compelling literary characters of all time. I don’t remember when I first became aware of her existence but it was well before I had actually experienced any real Greek mythology, definitely before I’d read The Iliad. It’s fascinating to me how literary characters [...]]]></description>

I haven’t much time so this is a bit of a rough draft.
A lot of the detail I&#8217;ll just have to leave to your imagination.
Don’t worry, it’s easy.
The only thing I know for sure is that I want thirty characters involved.
They don’t need names, you can think some up if you want to.
Whatever [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From So Many Books 
I wonder what it was in Emerson that allowed him to have good friendships with people that were difficult? He must have found such relationships stimulating. Perhaps they were an opportunity to test his own mind and ideas against those of another who wouldn’t balk at telling Emerson he was full of [...]]]></description>

I have a coworker who gets lost easily; I’ll call her A. About four of us were hired at the same time, working between two buildings, a lovely old well-ornamented Beaux Arts building and a modern concrete and glass box, connected by various corridors and passageways. We have passcards to beam us into the [...]]]></description>

I decided it was time to leave New York City not long after I was attacked in the subway.
It was the late 1970s. I lived up on West 92nd Street in Manhattan, sharing an apartment with a tai chi teacher and friend and various other guys enthused about kung [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Beautiful Desolation 
After the service and interment, we drove back to the church for the reception. Stood in a receiving line, mourners shaking our hands and mumbling words of sympathy while we did our best to look suitably solemn. The church basement was airless, musty and full of old bones. Not unlike mother’s coffin, I [...]]]></description>
