word processing lab in Iowa City, that's how I did my writing when I was first there. When I went back, I think someone had given me an electric typewriter.
and what I might have come up with in high school about Mike La Course, was never done again either, even though he was in the same dorm. I had given up. and I heard he got around.
the one you did have sex with, after mashing with so many at those parties, he wanted to have a relationship with you, why didn't you? I don't know. I guess cuz I had never been in one, didn't know what that would mean. thank God he didn't ejaculate inside of me.
some of This Sky I Know, was thinking of Peter, not much though, I think two. I knew I was gonna dedicate it to my teachers since no one close to me could care less, guess I thought I had to include something. it was very subtle though, nothing obsessive.
not from Marc Rahe either, after you gave him a copy. you two exchanged poems constantly in Iowa City. he even came to give a reading in Rock Island. didn't say a thing about your book, and little while after giving it to him I caught an interview online, and he was asked what he's reading right now, and he said a person who had an MFA. He sold his soul. doubtful he even had one though.
I only stayed a little longer cuz the hospital was there for my kids. my mom has always said I should go back for that reason. and there's more there for me. but no. the hardest part for my kids was leaving the rental house, it's all they had known.
how could Everybody criticize you for getting assistance, you had two disabled kids. Most mothers can barely do a part time job with those needs. it was anything and everything.
Jason loved your book, and said so. But after he had the copy, I told him that I told Exlibris, exactly how I wanted the lay out, and shortly after my book was Jason's aunt knew someone to put His book together, and when I read it, it was following My lay out. it bothered me a little bit, not much. we're still best friends.
unless it was in Kansas City, but I don't think I was writing then.
ReplyDeleteI don't recall having a typewriter out when we were there.

ReplyDeleteand nothing about Will. I guess I just wanted them to be proud of my writing, an accomplishment. didn't hear anything back though.

ReplyDeletewhat do you think about people who don't leave Iowa City, Sheri. something is wrong there.

ReplyDeleteyou're not one of these poor mothers who moves around a lot, Sheri. employers like that.
ReplyDeletethe apartments here were brand new, and I got bargain. assistance.

ReplyDeletetwice you went to his readings in Iowa City, and bought his books. the first one was better than the second one. not sure what happened there.
