This week has included the cancellation of 4 major book events I was so looking forward to! Strange times... wishing everyone health and good humor as we navigate these days.
The week also brought to our home this amazing sunrise:
And this wonderful bit of mail:
 |
| ...my first finished copy of NINE (which, yes, measures 9 in. x 9 in.!) |
As for my ArtSpeak! Red project, I do have a new poem for you! I don't know why my brain is stuck on summer, but it most certainly is... read on!
Still Life with
Summer
inside,
a plate of tomatoes
waits
for morning
to ripen
- Irene Latham
-->
Irene, congratulations nine times over for a new book of poetry in its 9x9 format. I do enjoy a good nonet. Today's ArtSpeak! Red moment provides a spark on a rainy, dark day. Red opens the day with zest for life.
ReplyDeleteYou're giving me the 'summer blues', or is it the 'summer reds'? I'm wishing better for all of us by the time that plate of tomatoes ripens. I'm sorry for the cancellations, a disappointment for those who'd love to see you and your new books, and for you to connect with others. Thanks for the poem that brings good things to my mind!
ReplyDeletePerfect pairing, Irene! I can taste summer already. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of morning ripening. When does your nonet book come out, Irene?
ReplyDeleteLove the poem and art, and am so excited about the new book! Sorry to hear about the cancellations. Beautiful sunrise photo!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this one! "For morning to ripen" is a delicious phrase. Sorry about your cancellations. Two trips cancelled for me. :( But somehow we need to make good times out of these strange times. Congrats on the new book!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your cancellations! Glad you have the sunrise to console you. We were able to celebrate my birthday last weekend (with some adjustments), but I didn't get to go visit Ariana this weekend. :-(
ReplyDeleteWow the sunrise! Wow the book! Wow the poem! You are an amazement! Thanks for all these...
ReplyDeleteooooh! The very idea of morning ripening. How perfectly matched to your photo. Love your artspeak poems. They are short but power packed like vitamins! Many congratulations on the new book. Ii can't wait to get my hands on it!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I splurged on a box of basil at Whole Foods today -- we'll have pesto tonight and dream of summer when the basil comes from our own garden.
ReplyDeleteI just preordered NINE! Yay for you!!! Next up: RED.
I love nonets, and there's 9 and the books 9x9 how fun, looking forward to it Irene–lovely art too!
ReplyDeleteHow amusing your red poem is…
"tomatoes
waits
for morning
to ripen
Let's open up that ripe morning, we sure need an abundance of them now, thanks Irene.
Looking forward to NINE! I love that it actually measures 9X9. Longing for those red summer mornings. And so sorry that so much of life is on hold!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new book! A couple of weeks ago I read Sylvia Plath's poem "Metaphors" with my eighth graders - are you familiar with it? You should check it out, if not - lots of nines! I love your still life poem - tomatoes are a key component of a gorgeous summer still life! Thanks for all your poetic gifts in these difficult times.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on NINE, Irene! And I love your perfectly ripened "Still Life" poem. Summer is a good place for your brain to be stuck. :)
