Ye Olde Bloggens are re-posts of old blogs
by Bridget Eileen - Writer in Providence, Rhode Island 

The following post was originally posted on one of Bridget Eileen’s old blogs: In the Pines, Neophyte Poetics, Bridget Eileen’s Commonplace Book, Dreaming Bridge Designs or A Vegetarian Notebook. They aren’t all fancy with photos and subheadings and search descriptions, or even that much content, sometimes. They’re here for posterity, because it’s fun to read the archives!


I ordered some new books for school and one for fun: two for school from Ellen Bryant Voigt Messenger and The Flexible Lyric. Never heard of her, so I'll let you know how those are. One is essay, the other poetry. I'm getting them upon the recommendation of my current faculty mentor. We have different ideas about poetry, which is fine. I think it's good to work with someone who has different aesthetics than you, so long both parties are respectful of the other person.

And, from my childhood, Miss Kiss and the Nasty Beast. This is in line with my love of the Stargirls. I bought this orange monkey with a swirly stomach patch for Hunter - but Chrissy says she already got him one just like it - anyway, it reminded me of the book, so I ordered it when I ordered the school books.

Thass all fer now.
