The art and value of live, personal storytelling
Among the many ways to tell a story, the most primal is aloud and face-to-face. And among the infinite stories that can be told, perhaps the most transformative are those that are personal, and true.
Since 2017, I’ve served on the Board of Directors for Ex Fabula, a Milwaukee nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening community bonds through…

I hate these word crimes too, Al
In three minutes and forty-five seconds of pure genius, Weird Al Yankovic has managed to collect nearly all of my pet peeves as an editor and used the sharpest blade known to man (sarcasm) to belittle any and all parties guilty of bad grammar.
Thank you, Al. I couldn’t have said it (and certainly couldn’t have sung it) better myself. Instead of correcting offenders in the future, I’ll just sit…

You wore only white; I must accept that this time may not be the last.

The trouble with sleep
Not quite a poem #3
Absent the worry that wrestles a resting mind, sleep dances like an acrobat on a practiced path. No need for a safety net of dreams. He already knows where he will land – clairvoyance for a clear voyage to the place that leaves no questions unanswered and no wound unhealed. Tranquility breeds itself; still air makes no ripples on the water’s surface. Likewise, fear begets fear until all is swallowed in the void. There are those who will insist the sisters must be in balance, lest one destroy the other. We should be so lucky. We lie with whom we are assigned.

Understanding Poetry
Happy National Poetry Month! This comic was inspired by one of my favorite poems, "The New Poetry Handbook" by Mark Strand. This month on Incidental Comics, I’ll be exploring the world of poetry. A place, as Marianne Moore famously said, of ”imaginary gardens with real toads in them.”

Sara's leaf
I saw you fall In the usual way Autumn offering. Ochre whisper. Tacit descent, Unremarkable but for its solitude Singular spirit Waltzing on unseen breezes Plummet and pirouette Reflecting in the dance Your feather touch Ribbon kiss Eyelids like petals from a rose And before alighting on the grass, The slightest draft, like baby’s breath Lifted you above my heart Suspended in the misty air Just long enough For me to know It was you.
