Roi Fainéant Press "Petites Serving 10"
Hungry for words?
Help yourself to a serving of word salad.
My willy-nilly work found its “Untitled” self tossed into the mix of “Petites Serving 10”. (Roi Fainéant Press, 2/272022).
Read the slew of sundry sweet petites here.
Many thanks for the publish, Roi Fainéant Press.

The Emily Dickinson Museum’s annual 2025 Tell It Slant Poetry Festival returns this week (September 15-21, 2025) and offers hybrid online and in-person options.
As I’m uncertain if registration actually closes for the online events, learn more (if anything) about late registration here.
Admission to all Festival events is free, although “pay your way” tickets can be purchased per person at $20 per event to support the Festival.
A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.I say it just
Begins to live
That day.- Emily Dickinson, F278 (1862)
~
“There are some fascinating and profound depths to this short poem (which was penned as most of a letter to Dickinson’s cousin). An unspoken word is alive with possibility. Meditate upon almost any word and its richness of suggestiveness, connotations and denotations will flower and multiply. There are almost endless possibilities of meaning. The word seems to have a life of its own.”
