dear -
i'm so sorry it has taken me so long to reply to your wonderful letter. its sad, i am not used to writting letters anymore or anything personal beyond emails. i miss discussing writing with you and hearing your poetry. i had lunch today at an overcrowded cosi with an engineering friend of mine. when we were finished eating, she wanted to leave because the pair seated next to us, discussing poetry, sounded too intellectual.
i am currenltly listening to metric 'live it out' after last week's concert. emily haines wore an oversized neon shirt from some seventy's band and purple sparkled leggings. i wore my vintage marimeko shirt waist dress in purple, orange, and green rectangles to distinguish myself from the high school kids out on a tuesday night. i did dance right next to them.
this weekend i made a roasted vegetable pizza with potatos, sweet potatos, carrots, mozzerella, and ricotta. it would be so exciting to go exploring with you. you've already introduced me to my favorite music and wonderful people. i wish we could all live in some urban commune with a garden on the roof! it sounds corny but mara and i reflected last weekend on how much THAT class put into motion.
much much love, cristina

if no garden is available, we could make a planter out of a prairie wagon! tort'lums are DIY savvy.
for some reason I also have a vision of the group roving the surface of the earth in a zeppelin (equipped with a kitchen and conference room) and doing good (making reading and writing, stopping purse-snatchers in parks)
quite interesting...i never considered a traveling troupe of do gooders. I like it.
ps. who added the undertitle : "The to-be cast of a scrapbook outlining pioneer adventures"?
yo
exactly what i thought.

"(America never was America to me.)"
I am going to take this up with people. Because intellectual is not bad (though academic is usually very bad), and we only think this way because we lock the intellectual in the academic and turn thinkers into ineffective babblers, but intellectual never had to mean useless. And anyway POETRY?? How could she? (I think we need more poetry.)
PS--I miss you and our travelling garden.
exactly right- we need more poetry.
you are the gardener.
