This week's poem is the one printed in the margin of this blog -- "Writing at Grizfork Studio." In my life, I've had a handful of perfect places to write: An enclosed balcony above a liquor store on Saginaw's southside. The third table from the door at Ewald's Bar. A small cabin in the jackpine forests outside of Grayling, Michigan. Apartments 406 & 410 at the New Amadore. A cinder block room in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico. I love them all, but of all of them, the Grizfork Studio is not only the most productive, but the only one at which I don't hear near-daily gunfire.
"Assunta" is this week's music selection, pulled from Freddie Hubbard's Here to Stay album. Personnel include Hubbard (trumpet), Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Cedar Walton (piano), Reggie Workman (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums).
