Circumnavigation (poetry book) ~ Let’s make a start

From my barn studio in provincial Japan come spontaneous annotations about undertaking a new project. In this case: compiling a collection of poetry (working title “Circumnavigation of sorts”), mostly from works already written over years of rambling… Plus riffing about first setting up the right environment (lighting, incense, tea station, workbench), remembering to meditate, stretch and enjoy, finding the middle ground between “this is the best ever” and “this is really quite terrible” and thinking aloud about “what connects all of these works together?” and more talking to myself about process and limitations .

Kinda like a slacker version of #nanowrimo2022 (National Novel Writing Month campaign) except #poetry and less diligent cause i have dishes to wash, laundry to fold.
