"I’d never been so jealous of a cigarette in my life, so envious of ash, to glow from the touch of her lips, to fall at her feet and be completely consumed."

This is one of my favourite @barlowadams.bsky.social CNFs.

I never actually think anyone will read what I write, but when there's a positive indication, such as this photo taken in a local high school, I get all jammed up.

Thanks. Can't believe I only just discovered Andrew's writing. It was through @ninaschuyler.bsky.social's Stunning Sentences series. She profiled him earlier this month. I haven't stopped reading since.

I worked on my story, The Inn of Frozen Things, in @tommydeanwriter.bsky.social ky.social 's Settings Workshop.

Tommy's a fantastic teacher. Thanks to his insights, my story was published by Atticus Review, then selected for the Wigleaf Top 50. I highly recommend signing up for his classes.

Allen Ginsberg Remembers Mama (Published 1972)

So interesting. I look forward to reading it.

Seeing Naomi Ginsberg on the list lead me to a 1972 NYT interview with Allen Ginsberg. Fascinating. www.nytimes.com/1972/02/06/a...
