This blog contains the random thoughts and observations of one atypical Florida girl.
If you've never read Mark Doty, here's your chance. Much of his work centers around the loss of his long-time partner to AIDS. I'm finding his work both comforting, painful, and appropriate today.

Owned by two neurotic cats and a scruffy old dog,I am a wife, a mother, a knitter, and a part- time receptionist for a very busy veterinary practice. I am a college dropout with a passion for writing, nature, and coffee who dreams of one day combining these passions into a business in the form of a cafe. I am a reddish-blonde haired-untanned-sunophobic Florida girl.
The Backyardigans, my son playing "Attack of the Monster Shoe", a gentle rain and distant thunder.

"The Embrace" brought tears to my eyes Ang. I'm sorry that your neighbor passed away - and that you feel badly for not doing more for him while he was alive.

I ADORE him! His poetry is so full of love it makes you want to just run out and hug someone.
"Broadway" is still, and will always be my favorite of his.
Laura, my favorite is A Green Crab's Shell.
You know, I'd never heard of him until just a few years ago. Laura Amos turned me on to him, and ever since, I've considered him one of my favorites.
