From the @havehashad.com archive, this poignant, genuinely beautiful Matthew Olzmann poem isn't REALLY about zombies:

"Susquehanna River Suites" by Michael Garrigan is a thoughtful, braided ode to the river my family lived beside and loved well for generations. Lovely essay.

Sauteed dandelion greens rock. Italian style sounds delicious.

That's awesome! I caught a couple white suckers this afternoon, but they haven't REALLY started moving here yet.

This place looks awesome.
I'm pretty jealous, too--we're still a few weeks from this in my part of PA. This week was nice, but flowers are a ways off.

If folks really really want to keep a bazillion panfish, I mean. I would also rather just eat a couple eight inchers once in a while.

I read an older pond-management article once suggesting that keeping a lot of small bluegills the way old timey ice fisherman do helps with stunting, but keeping a lot of big ones doesn't. WDNR's summary of the study says something similar. So maybe we need to convince people to eat more fish cakes?

Dystopias are so good at this. The Handmaid's Tale has so much to say and says it through perfect character work.
I agree with almost none of Ayn Rand's politics, but Anthem is so vivid and compelling--just tight, well-constructed storytelling, which political novels often forget about.

I like that some of the Lepomis species can just hybridize ... and re-hybridize ... and re-hybridize. (Not sure if this is all the species in the genus, or just some.) There are a couple ponds near my house with bluegill/green/pumpkinseed hybrid soup, and I love trying to figure out what they are.

I wonder how many of the poets in there are just so proud to be included. I'd be proud.

Probably half the time I finish a book, honestly. But I can be a bit excitable.

Once, a preacher I know argued that all humans would make the same choice as Adam and Eve--that it's just the human condition. Maybe no matter what we say, all of us would choose that Question 7 pill sooner or later.

Yeah, I have one of the river's bigger tributaries out back--my dad says he's never seen it so low. We've lived here over 25 years.

Nine years ago on Twitter I started writing "Unknown Fairytales" and a some other folks, mostly in haiku & tanka community, played too.
Some were published:
The princess
raised by fishermen
spins salmon scales
into glimmering armor
for an orphan moon

Oh that's incredible.
Over in PA, we're in a pretty bad drought. I would LIKE to be wild trout fishing, but lately the creeks are so low you breathe and the fish spook.
