lately i’ve been really inspired by light and dark contrasts.  the top photo was snapped one morning this week (that tissue paper came off of some drycleaning and i liked the way it caught the morning light).  the second photo was taken this morning (and that fantastic print is from the incomparable hannah huffman).

today, i have 2 poetry links to share, in honor of national poetry month.
+ poems out loud (a great site from robert pinsky and others, celebrating the benefits of reading poetry out loud. if you check out the videos section, i particularly enjoyed the construction worker reading walt whitman. i could spend hours here).
+ this poem, “life story” by tennessee williams – this made me chuckle (you’ll see why when you read it).

i don’t claim to know very much about poetry, even though i read a lot of it in college. i’d love suggestions for some good poetry links.

what is on tap for your weekend? the weather is supposed to be amazing. i plan on meeting up with some good friends and i can’t wait. we’re going to do some eating, drinking, dancing and a little celebrating. i hope your weekend is full of that stuff, too. cheers.
