Clumps of Moments

in Uncategorized on 16/09/11

This post is inspired from an excerpt of the poem Small Things by Anna
Kamienska:

“It’s not from the grand

but from every tiny thing

that it grows enormous

as if Someone was building Eternity

as a swallow its nest

out of clumps of moments”

Our clumps of moments this week:

a mixture of sugar, and butter, and vanilla

while the sky was still black and blue

so someone could have a first day of school treat.

a familar hangout with a new place to draw “guys”

meeting a new friend

having crayons spill out of my pencil case at my writer’s group meeting

finding the perfect spot for one’s foot on (finally!) a sunny afternoon

Hi! I’m Callie. I’m a writer and teacher living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I write Creative Nonfiction, and in my oldest daughter Hadley’s words, I “use my imagination to add a bit of sparkle to the story.” I’m a contributor for Coffee+Crumbs, Off the Page, Makes You Mom, and Relief Journal. My writing has also been featured on Art House America, Tweetspeak Poetry, Good Letters, and Altarwork, and in 2014 I was one of the cast members of the Listen To Your Mother DC show.

I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University, and I am working on my first book that will be published through TS Poetry Press.
