The Culinary Saijiki

When you perpetually avoid something on your to-do list for months, at some point, you have to take a hard look at why. In the case of this podcast and blog, I realized two things: 1.     I have learned so much from podcasting, and had a great time doing it, but at the end of the day, when I have limited time to pursue my creative endeavors, that just wasn’t what I wanted to work on. 2.     Puttin...

Highlights from Poetry Pea I've learned a great deal from Patricia's two-part conversation with Janice Doppler about the concept of zoka in haiku. I think it's her best workshop yet! Be sure to check it out, so you'll be ready to submit your haiku when the submission period opens.

In my penultimate Austin recording, I sat down with Claire Vogel Camargo at her home in Austin, Texas. We met after my final meeting with the Austin Haiku Study group. Claire and I talked at length about how food connects us to family, and her haiku brought up memories that led to fund stories and digressions. I hope you enjoy our rambling, free-form conversation.  More of Claire's work You can fi...

Note: The theme music and transitions have changed because the ones I was using from my hosting service are suddenly no longer available. I discovered this at the proverbial 11th hour, so had to make do with new stock sounds. Hopefully that didn't cause too much confusion.
