"So this is where I now eat" by Marisa Sobel

Since it looks like this is the first post from our class, here's a poem to kick off the new semester!

So this is where I now eat. 

Gross at first, your grime

made my skin crawl. That

periwinkle color, time-

less. The small teapot

that makes coffee—sublime.

Open the window for your lack

of ventilation makes me sweat

when I cook, somehow turning black

the red onion that made me cry.

Many mosquitos, which I whack.

Camouflaged next to the sink, the fridge sits

beside the machine that sounds

as if about to explode on the fritz.

Overflowing with bottles and cans,
kitchen chairs creaking, making me loose my wits.

Lee's Book Tour

Dear all, Your intrepid leader, Lee Foust, is launching his new book Sojourner in the USA at Green Apple Books in San Francisco this Thursday evening, July 11th at 7:00 PM. I'm then embarking on a 4-city publicity tour with stops in Seattle and Olympia, WA, Portland and Salem, OR. Click on this text for the full calendar of events and for details of time and place--I'll also be back to perform in the East Bay (I hope) and for sure in Sacramento in early August. So, as the Simple Minds sing, "Don't you (pause) forget about me. No No No No."
