Egg & Spoon. Top Story - August 2023.
To say that I have been in a bit of a reading slump lately would be an understatement. For whatever reason, perhaps burnout, stress, or just a general sense of apathy, I haven’t been overly motivated to read (or I simply lose my focus after a few short pages).

The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov
I didn't understand myself when I was growing up in the 'not so rich' Caribbean neighborhood of Waterloo (aptly named, because every year during the hurricane season, the Heavens opened up and rained down so much water, it washed the road and some houses away). Only later did I learn that we were living directly below a sugar cane 'plantation' where water was redirected as a runoff for the crop. Luckily, our little house was perched safely upon a questionable hill which barely kept us safe.

A Contrasting Couple of Book Review Haiku
A few weeks ago, I came across Judey Kalchik’s post about creating haiku with the subject of the poem being a book review. I’ve written a few book reviews, but they were more on the long-form side to fit work as assignments for when I was in my MFA program. And while I’ve wanted to continue writing book reviews, my brain has supplied me with many distractions and worries to keep me from digging into serious book reviewing.
