Tongue-tied [by Stephanie Paterik]
The word utterance keeps coming to mind this week. It’s not a word I’ve thought about before. If I saw it on the side of the road, surely I would drive by. It means a cry, an animal’s call, a power of speaking ... one or more words preceded and followed by silence. It derives from the Middle F...
Jenny, you made my day! I'm a big fan of yours, too! Thanks for taking time to offer such valuable comments. "Fugacity" is wonderful, and I didn't know the meaning until you shared it. The poem you placed it in is very lucky.

A Whale of a Cliché [by Stephanie Paterik]
Halfway through a poetry reading in a Greenwich Village bar where Bob Dylan used to perform, a peculiar trend emerged. The word “whale” was slipping out of the mouth of every other poet. In a workshop a few days later, another whale swam into the room. After class, I flipped through a poet...

The Bruise on the Apple [By Stephanie Paterik]
About once a year, I'm compelled to humiliate myself in the form of a hip-hop workout class. As a perfectionist, I don’t give myself many chances to fail. So it’s weirdly thrilling to slip into a studio alongside lithe, muscular men and women who learned to move their bodies to a beat in youth...

The Singing Bowl [by Stephanie Paterik]
My husband celebrated his 40th birthday last week, and being a planner, he sat me down six months ago. “I’m going to have a nervous breakdown,” he said quite calmly, holding my hands. “At the very least, a midlife crisis.” “OK...” I said. “Are we talking red convertibles?” “No, no. Not like ...
You're welcome, and thanks for sharing this! I love poems based on tidbits of thought. A former instructor once asked our class to carry notebooks for a week and capture all of the weird and wonderful tidbits that come to mind, which led to great/unexpected poetry.
