Reflections and Readings from My Bradbury Trio Program
The Bradbury Trio [reading a poem, an essay, and a story every day] fuels my writing.
I believe this works for me because
Good Words In = Good Words Out
Here are some of the texts that made an impact on me.
Poem: Maya Stein’s 10 Line Tuesday: Fireflies
I love Maya’s writing and was introduced to her by Laurie Wagner from 27 Powers.
Maya uses a repeated pattern I am playing with in my writing today.
“I could be …”
“But I’m here.”
“I want…”
“They want…”
Essay: Adam’s Tattoo from Jewish Boston
I am not sure whether I liked this essay or not. I do like the idea of writing about tattoos from a story sense. There are a lot of reasons why people get tattoos, why they chose the images they do, and when they get them.
Microfiction Story: Tennis Elbow KIM MAGOWAN Fractured Lit
I love Kim’s writing. She has a story called Mad Lib which has stayed with me for a long time. This story is about a couple who has a private joke that goes on until it is not funny, but upsetting. There is so much story in such a small amount of words.
