  • LAST THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: leaving the dishes

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on February 25, 2016February 25, 2016

    I haven’t posted anyone else’s poetry on the blog before. But after reading a quote by the Native American writer Louise Erdrich, I went and researched the full poem it came from.  Happily, I found a new writer …

  • Bringing Up the Bells

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on February 25, 2016February 25, 2016

  • FRESH OFF THE PAGE: me and the words

    Posted by Jacqlyn Thorne on February 5, 2016February 5, 2016

  • THROUGH MY LENS: barn at sunrise
