To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself... Anybody can have ideas, the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph. -- Mark Twain

Photo Op
Here I am with Walter Bargan, former Poet Laureate of the state of Missouri, at the Missouri Writers' Guild conference held this past April in St. Louis. This photo was snapped at the book signing, and I look as if I'm concentrating very hard on remembering what I am supposed to write on the title page. Actually, I'm getting directions to the nearest Italian restaurant.
