Into the Blue Shannon Salter Writer's comment: At first, I perceived this story, which narrates my skydiving excursion last year, as somewhat of a tragedy. I achieved the ultimate high, which, like all highs, was followed by a low, by a descent back into normality. Falling out of an airplane was always an adventure I wanted to have. But in the last couple of years it came to symbolize a lot for me. It meant escaping the mundane, the ordinary, the everyday routine in a society that I had grown increasingly critical of. And I did escape, but only for a minute. Now I am beginning to really understand that life isn't about striving for highs. It's not about transcending the ordinary. It's about the everyday, about the relationships we have, the things we experience, what we see, what we learn. As I think my story reflects, it's about appreciating the journey, about enjoying the ride. —Shannon Salter Instructor's comment: Shannon wrote this piece for the creative nonfiction assignment in Writing Seminar I. Initially, Shannon drafted a literal account of her skydiving experience. With each revision, however, she uncovered new layers of meaning, made unexpected connections between images and events, present and past. In this riveting narrative, Shannon transforms the sky and ocean into rich metaphors, each standing for the other. Entering "into the blue"—whether through skydiving or driving—triggers memory and enacts discovery, revealing the narrator's desire to overcome fear, to escape restrictive social norms. Weaving crisp dialogue and precise description, Shannon crafts a story that moves with ease between scenes of fierce intensity and passages of quiet contemplation. —Brian Komei Dempster, Rhetoric and Composition WRW - 70 Into the Blue I sit cross-legged in the passenger's seat as we drive home from the middle of nowhere, watching the sun descend into the desert's evening sky. My adrenaline is still soaring; I can still feel it. Jon and I have just jumped out of an airplane from fourteen thousand feet in the air, falling at 140 miles per hour. The period of free fall was approximately one minute in length; it felt like a fleeting moment and an entire lifetime all at once. During the drive there I had asked Jon, "What do you think it's going to feel like?" He leaned over the steering wheel, allowing his damp back to cool off. It was the end of August in southern California, and we were headed inland. Even with the windows down sweat seeped into our clothes. His eyes narrowed. I could only tell because I had a side-view of him; his eyes were otherwise concealed behind dark sunglasses that were rounder at the bottom than on top and framed with slim metallic rims. He removed his left hand from the steering wheel and thoughtfully stroked his wiry red goatee. "Like blowing coke and eating mushrooms at the same time," Jon said, grinning into the rearview mirror, his eyes shifting towards me to assess my reaction. We both have a deep appreciation for altered states of mind and body, Jon much more than I because he has lived longer and is more disillusioned than I am. Jon has made statements like "Sobriety is the devil" and meant it. I don't question Jon's self- professed poetic license, but I do try not to regard everything he says as a true or complete reflection of his character. Jon's a painter. Oil on canvas is his medium of release, of creativity, of self-expression, of whatever you want to call it. One of his recent creations depicts his own hands, marked with bar codes and a series of long numbers by which he is identified. There's an assemblage of tiny squares, a grid board that represents each of us as straight lines on an empty square. Jon is a creative mind engaged in what he views as a dull reality. Although he carries an air of slight morbidity, he does not exist in a perpetual state of suffering. He knows what moves him, what makes him happy, like his fantastic music collection of several hundred albums of many genres, stacked alphabetically in his bedroom. He's recounted times in his teenage years when he's WRW - 71 Shannon Salter sat curled in his closet for hours, blaring The Cure, his favorite band, absorbed by the wailing injured lyrics that only Robert Smith can make so cool. Jon also loves fine food, cooking and eating it. Seared salmon with plump asparagus spears are a staple at his house. Everything is always cooked in pounds of butter and accompanied by bottomless glasses of red wine, never white. He has a peculiar but charming habit of eating with his fingers, even at fancy restaurants. "It tastes better that way," he casually explained the first time I gave him an inquisitive stare. Clearly undaunted by a stupid social norm, he looked up from a Caesar salad that he was methodically picking away at, popping croutons and romaine lettuce into his mouth. The thing is, he does it in such a way that it looks entirely correct. I've often found myself feeling silly using utensils when we're eating together. So I sometimes set down my fork as well and use my thumb and index finger the way Jon does. It does taste better. And Jon really sees things. I remember lying in bed one morning, watching the morning sun filter through the murky glass window and cast her yellow haze over the room. We were talking about colors. "What color would you say that wall is?" Jon asked, nodding at the blank wall in front of us. I fixated my gaze on it for a few moments. I wasn't sure what he was implying. "White. It's a white wall." "Nope," Jon replied with a hint of amusement in his voice. He lit a joint that he had rolled the night before and smiled down at me. I lay with my head beneath and to the left of his chin, my arm draped over his chest. I could feel his scruffy facial hair scratching against my forehead, a feeling that I can never get enough of. "I see green, an olive green where the shadow is cast. And down there, it fades into a strip of gray and I'd say lavender at the bottom." He held the joint up to his lips and inhaled until his lungs were filled to capacity. I felt his chest rise. After an extended pause, his chest sunk down again and a large cloud of light-gray smoke rose above us, sprawling outward as it climbed towards the ceiling. "You can't paint a white wall." WRW - 72 Into the Blue I tossed the lesson around in my mind, staring hard at the wall and contemplating the defined shades that emerged from obscurity and presented themselves before the painter's eye. Indeed, the wall was not white at all. The moment dissolved as Jon lifted his foot off the gas pedal and our car bumped over scattered potholes. His eyes were focused intently on the road ahead. I squinted into the blazing afternoon sun that filtered through his window and covered his face in shadow. "I think I am going to feel like Lucifer being cast down from heaven," Jon concluded. His smile retracted, and his lips resumed their usual somber seriousness. He dragged his fingers through his tangled red-orange hair and tugged at the soft curls that grew in the back. It lay flat while his hand was in it but promptly sprang back into its upright position, the way long, unkempt grass does after being pressed down under the weight of a footstep. I leaned my head back against the seat and let it loosely wobble around atop my neck. Closing my eyes, I thought about the songs we had chosen to be played in our skydive videos. I think they both spoke to an aspect of our nature and what our excursion was all about: we were two people, bored in a lackluster reality, searching for the ultimate high, the ultimate escape. Jon had chosen a Nine Inch Nails' song. It was hard rock, raging with heated hostility. Mine was a Pixies' song called "Wave of Mutilation." It wasn't the punk-rock album version, but a slower, more melodic version. The keyboard, drums, and guitar come in first and then the singer's voice starts off in a low-pitch whisper, his words drawn out and bleeding into one another. "Cease to exist, given my goodbye. Drive my car into the ocean." He sings the word "ocean" as if it has four syllables, bringing his voice up and down, and varying the volume. "You think I'm dead, but I sailed away on a wave of mutilation, wave of mutilation." He continues repeating the word "wave" the same way he sings "ocean." You hear a certain relief in his voice, as if he's finally taken a deep breath after running a race for years, having always been gasping for air with no period of rest. The song takes me places. WRW - 73 Shannon Salter As soon as I got my driver's license, morning, sunset, and midnight drives down Pacific Coast Highway became part of my regular routine. I almost always drove with the windows down, feeling and tasting the salty coastal breeze. The speakers blasted a variety of crucial tunes from The Beatles, Radiohead, and Nirvana. Sometimes I didn't listen to music at all and became entranced by the steady cadence of crashing waves and the wind's commanding pulse. Either way, I was entirely lost in the drive. Left to its own impulses, my mind drifted around to faraway places and times. When I was in high school, those drives meant forgetting about all my friends' meaningless drama that I could never relate to. I let go of the depressing thoughts about a pathetic superficiality that governed the lives of everyone around me. I forgot about the masses, which I served after school and on weekends at a coffee shop. I forgot about their oblivion and idiocy. I forgot how they were unwilling to engage in simple human interaction, rarely responding to my gracious, "Hello, how are you?" before rudely demanding no-foam cappuccinos and the like. I stopped explaining over and over that "a cappuccino is espresso and foam" and that what they wanted was "a latte, made with milk." After several months I realized that, in their minds, they were always right and that they did not appreciate my efforts to correct them. I forgot about endless arguments with my dad about how hard my angry, indifferent attitude made it to love me. And I forgot about how I thought I didn't care because I was so angry and indifferent. I forgot about my parents' endless badgering when I refused to attend church, even after I explained to them, "I simply feel uncomfortable there because I don't believe in your god." Those drives had a way of making all the bullshit slip away and replacing it with a comfortable serenity. "Jon," I said, my eyes still closed, "I'm glad I chose 'Wave of Mutilation.' " "It's an awesome song," he agreed. I paused for a few moments and then told him, "My favorite part of the drive down PCH is this spot where the cliff curves really abruptly, and you look out over the ocean. The waves are crashing over the rocks and there's just never-ending blue and a strip of golden beach. WRW - 74 Into the Blue "Yea. I think I know the spot," he said. My eyes were still closed, but I could sense that he had turned towards me. "But then you look at the other side of PCH – highway lanes in front of leveled coastal hills. It used to be all beautiful canyons with so much wildlife. Now it's a bunch of custom homes, and a hotel that they are building," I reflected. I thought back to my high school drives again. I could never help but consider what a pale system ours is in comparison to the ocean's, to its perfect equilibrium. "I always wanted to just keep driving," I continued, "straight off the cliff – just shut my eyes and drive into the blue, away from all the ugliness." "To ride the El Nino?" Jon asked, quoting another line in the song, passion flaring up in his voice, "To just fuck all of this?" "To just fly off the highway," I whispered, folding my arms in my lap, envisioning the scene that I had so many times before. "Just fly," Jon echoed, tapping the steering wheel. Upon arriving at the Skydive zone, Jon and I signed our lives away on a dozen different black lines without hesitation and were quickly suited up. I was introduced to Lenny, the professional whom I would be securely fastened to, and a photographer that would jump beside me with a video camera attached to his helmet. They were both ecstatically energetic, buzzing around like miniature wind-up toys. Lenny was middle-aged, a little stocky, and wore a long sandy-colored mustache that curled out on the ends like a pirate's. "This is what we do, you know? I get paid to jump out of airplanes. And I love it. I'll never get enough of this shit." Lenny spoke in a far-off voice, like he was lost somewhere in his own reality. I asked, "Have you already jumped today?" "Five times. And now we'll go up and down with you guys, and then I'll probably do a couple more this evening before calling it a day. It's some living, that's for sure." "I've always wanted to do this." "Right on. And you're going to want to do it a thousand more times." WRW - 75 Shannon Salter A man with long, greasy blonde hair carefully articulated directions. "Arch your backs when you exit the plane. This is going to be the ride of your life. This is it. Enjoy it, man!" Within minutes the clamorous drone of the airplane's engines was burrowing into my ears, rattling my skull. Our instructor's words, "This is it," echoed in my consciousness. My heart raced faster with each thousand feet that the plane ascended, feeling like it might beat out of my chest. It was like driving down the strip of PCH just prior to the bend in the cliff, envisioning the expanse of water that I fantasized about driving into before I arrived at it. But that was only fantasy. I always knew that the reality of driving my car into the ocean would not be nearly as romantic. The moments of airborne freedom would surely be ruined by thoughts of my impending collision with the ground, as I probably wouldn't reach the water at all, and my gruesome death. But I was really going to jump out of this airplane. The air temperature cooled dramatically as we climbed to our summit in the vacant sky. My head was clouded both from the pressure fluctuation and from anticipation of what I was going to do. Peering through the rectangular glass window, I watched the earth below fade into a smeared mass of lines and colors, no longer confining me, no longer defining the space in which I could exist. I watched wispy clouds fly at us out of the infinite blue we were in. I thought about all my time spent in the ocean. As a child, I spent most hot summer days at the beach, in the water. My parents tell me stories about my inborn desire to be in the ocean. "Even when you were just a toddler," they tell me, " you wanted to be alone in the waves. You wouldn't stand next to us. You darted from our side, galloping into the water. We worried about the water splashing over you. But you were never afraid, laughing and throwing yourself into the crashing waves. It made you so happy." Once, when I was ten, I got caught in a riptide. All of a sudden, I found myself sucked out into deep water, where I would never have voluntarily ventured. I never swam out to where I couldn't touch; I hated not feeling the ground beneath my feet. There was a feeling of safety in being able to clench the wet sand between my toes. I peered down and couldn't see the bottom. Only WRW - 76 Into the Blue darkness confronted me from below. I panicked, flailing my arms erratically and emitting high-pitched screams, my voice shaking with horrific uncertainty. That was the only time I felt afraid of the ocean, afraid of its unfathomable power, afraid because I didn't feel at one with it, but that it opposed me. The lifeguard was there in minutes, which seemed like hours. He wrapped the orange flotation device around me and towed my limp body to safety. I was rescued. I sat on the beach, rolling my wet body in the heated sand and letting the sun's love warm and comfort me. I drank Hansen's cherry-vanilla soda and ate slices of apples and cheese. After a couple hours, I was ready to return to the water, not intimidated by my recent endangerment. Watching the jumpers that preceded me fall from the door and plummet out of sight, I did feel afraid. One by one they became lost in the grandeur of empty space. At last, I gazed over the brink of stability with a terrified fascination that I could never have imagined. My eyes widened as they became acquainted with an infinite cobalt vastness, their moisture sucked away by the rushing wind's vacuum force. A long, resounding scream involuntarily sprung from inside me. Every cell in my body clinched and tingled, my swollen heart pulsating. I could barely feel myself. I turned to blow a kiss to Jon, who was smiling wider than I'd ever seen before. Then I blew one to the camera. I inhaled. At three, my body sprung from the edge. Tumbling headfirst into nothingness, I saw the air, then the plane's underside, then my dangling orange Converse. I thrust my arms back, and they assumed their position like a majestic pelican stretching her massive wings before nose-diving to skim the water's surface and capture an unsuspecting fish. I had no sensation of falling; I was in flight. I exhaled. I was hurled into the fantastic abyss, the weightless oblivion where nothing existed except the sky and myself. The only sound was the hollering wind that gushed passed my ears and seemingly through my airborne body, like the wind that surged into my car when I was racing around the winding coastal highway. "That was it," I shout to Jon, over the noise of wind rushing through the car windows. "That is what it would feel like if I kept WRW - 77 Shannon Salter driving, if I just did it. That was flying off the highway, away from the sawed-off canyon hills, into the ocean. That was the moment I slam my foot on the gas pedal, the moment when my cars' tires leave the ground and veer over the cliff's edge!" The sky unleashed its force upon me, pulling my skin tightly over my skeletal frame. But I was not broken. My body penetrated the air as I glided through the awesome expanse of space. It was like feeling the waves crash over me, feeling the white water swirl around and consume me. It was like being submerged under a mile of ocean, dragged by its current to the bottom, but able to breathe. I had completely relinquished control and completely gained control in the same moment. At four thousand feet the trip of my life had to end. "Pull it!" Lenny screamed, his deep voice rumbling in my ear. My fingers wrapped around the circular knob, and I tugged it towards me. A sudden jerk followed, and my body was heaved abruptly forward and then back in the moment that the chute was unleashed. Straining my neck to look up and behind me, I watched the pale sunlight filtering through the chute's transparent purple material. Objects on the ground assumed their form again as the brown earth speckled with patches of dried grass grew larger. Jon was already on the ground, frolicking around in what looked like a drunken stupor. I floated slowly back to reality, floated down like a piece of broken metal from a wrecked car descending to the ocean floor. "Whoo! How do you feel, baby?" the photographer yelled, scampering up next to me. He swiveled his hips around like he was dancing and stuck his tongue out at me, focusing the camera lens on my face. At first my legs quivered underneath me, becoming reacquainted with solid ground. "I was flying," I heard myself murmur, still transfixed in mesmerized awe. "It was the most fantastic feeling I have ever had. Damn. That was fucking unreal. It was like driving my car into the ocean." An uncommonly giddy Jon skipped towards me, and we collided into one another. I threw my arms around his shoulders and we laughed stupidly, both a little dazed. Jon's untamed hair stood nearly a foot high, like flames flickering atop his scalp. He WRW - 78 Into the Blue kind of looked like Lucifer. He definitely looked like he had just blown coke and eaten mushrooms. "I feel so fucking high," he gasped. His glossy cobalt eyes were watering, and there were red impressions on his face from where the goggles had been suctioned on. After a post-landing camera shot with Jon and I sporting an enthusiastic thumbs-up, we were whisked off the field. We stripped off the blue jumpsuits and, in minutes, found ourselves at the bar, nursing our complementary beers. I guess the free beer after your jump was a little something to help the comedown. During the first forty minutes of the drive home, Jon and I spoke erratically to one another, spouting off vain attempts to ascribe words to that feeling. Then our elated dialogue waned and was replaced with a perplexed silence. "What now?" I wonder aloud, fully aware that I sound like a young girl. "Do we go back to work and school, assimilate back into the gray reality of our habitual routines?" "There will always be another high," Jon says knowingly. I take a deep breath and nod my head, feeling somewhat comforted. I roll the windows up, and the gushing wind is replaced with a quiet stagnation. I turn the CD player on and lean back in my seat, folding my arms behind my head. The Beatles begin singing about a girl flying through the sky with diamonds as I stare out the window at the desolate desert landscape. "There will always be another high." I repeat. Then I think silently to myself that there will also always be another low. But there is no need to say what we both know. An hour passes and we enter Huntington Beach. A strip of silver ocean is visible in the distance. "Jon," I say, breaking our silence, "Do you know what grunion are?" "The fish?" he responds, cocking his head to one side and slightly narrowing his eyebrows. Jon is used to my random assertions, this one having entered my head at the sight of silver ocean reflecting the fading sunlight. "Yea, tiny silver fish. They come on to land to spawn, you know. The entire population instinctively senses the most powerful wave of the season, the highest wave of the highest tide." WRW - 79 Shannon Salter "How do they know that a higher wave won't come?" Jon interjects skeptically. "They just know," I answer him, shaking my head in awe of the little creatures. "It's all about timing. They all feel for the right time to go, all together. They let the wave carry them onto shore. The males and females pair up and wiggle themselves into the sand, twisting around in their tiny incision." "Have you seen it?" Jon asks, turning to face me. "No. I've only heard about it. It's always in the middle of the night. The entire beach is covered in a metallic gleam – thousands of grunion dancing in the moonlight. You can feel them slapping against your feet; they're everywhere. It only lasts a few minutes, maybe half an hour at the most, long enough to deposit millions of miniscule eggs," I explain, my admiration of the natural phenomenon wavering in my voice. "And then their mating endeavors are over. They're washed back to sea, back into the blue." "Cool," Jon says, a boyish grin spreading atop his goatee. "You know, we can dance on the beach and have our own mating endeavors in the moonlight," he adds, his boyish grin turning into a mischievous smile. "Yes we can," I said, flicking my hand through the back of his hair that is still sticky with sweat. My eyes meet his gaze in the rearview mirror. He winks. I smile. Then we sit back and become lost in our drive. WRW - 80

Hi, I'm Ethan
I am an ENTJ personality type, which supposedly makes me an objective leader. I'm a disability attorney and have my own practice where I help disabled people get benefits. Prior to this I helped abused children. I signed up here because I don't have many opportunities to meet new people these days. Please note I do not give free legal services to strangers. This is a dating site, not a pro-bono law firm. I've had a few people online try to get me to do free work for them. None of them were interested in my body, just my mind. I'm sure doctors here aren't too interested in giving free medical exams either, except maybe breast exams. Heck, I can that for you too. I'm a good listener, genuine, easygoing, compassionate, and have a dry sense of humor. I am very protective and make a great friend. I enjoy watching movies, sports, and making friends. I'm looking for a girl who is intelligent, passionate, and has a good heart. If that's you, let's talk, we might be a great match. I also have a thing for nurses, elementary school teachers, and those who work with kids. No, it's not some childhood fantasy. I just think people with care-taking occupations tend to be caring people. I know looks aren't everything, but if you're going to post pictures, they should at least be recent and resemble how you look in person. The last girl I met was nice, but she had this HUGE Adam's apple. I felt like I was dating my Aunt Harry. Lastly, if you've just gotten out of a relationship, I also make a good rebound date. J/K

Travel Blogs from Arnhem
... Van Gogh, the second largest collection in the world.
The setting alone is 'vaux le voyage'. Out of town, in Otterloo, the K-M is set in the leafy De Hoge Veluwe National Park. On the fifteen minute ride in to the museum from the entrance to the park, we notice that the park authority has set a ring of small fires to control the brush.
The brochure refers to the museum as 'the lifework of Helene Kroller-Muller', who with her husband Anton ...
Germany, here we come
... Due to the acute housing shortage, accommodation costs are hideously expensive, giving rise to squatters occupying vacant buildings and disused warehouses. However, when a developer finally proposes plans for development, it seems the squatters have greater rights as to future design and construction. Local bike-riders like to feel as if they own the bike paths and ignore the presence of pedestrians, even where the walkers have right of way. To ...
We packed up early on the Thursday morning and began the short trip over to The Netherlands to see Sean and Meya. It took a while to make sure we had turned everything off/unplugged everything before setting off; a routine that would quickly be reduced to a few minutes with practice. The road was very long and straight, so didn't tax Timmy too much and the transition between countries was barely noticeable.I think the border consisted of a plump, ...
Getting misled in Arnhem
... driving round Arnhem and my sat nav trip record looks like I have scribbled over the two with a pen. It is possibly the worst place I have ever had to navigate. And I've driven in Paris.
I had also read about a chinese restaurant in local town Osterbeek so I thought I'd give that a go. I found it relatively easily (i.e. first time) but it was the weirdest Chinese every. I went into a totally empty dining room (It was 6pm at this point) ...
Final preparation and saying goodbye
... spend some time figuring out what is necessary to bring and what not. Saying goodbye for a while to some of the people I love will be emotional, but in the same time I'm so excited that my long planned trip is finally starting.
I hope I can update my blog frequently and even add a few pictures. Can't promise anything though, I'm depending on the wifi connections that I will have there. Hope to be able to keep you all ...

To by Scott Owens
Main Street Rag
$15, paperback
November, 2014
Available from the publisher
"In To, Scott Owens illustrates the joy, frustration, and oxymoronic nature of writing poetry. Only someone who is deeply committed to and believes in the art and craft of poetry could compile such a compelling collection of ars poetica. In fact, the titles alone compel: "The Sun Was Like an Oxymoron," "Arse Poetica," "On the Recent Reports of the Death of Poetry," and so on. This is poetry for the smart reader, the common reader, the reader who's not sure if poetry is his or her thing but is willing to give it a shot. In To, Owens promises to sway all comers. Once I started reading this collection, I couldn't put it down until the very end."
—Robert Lee Brewer, author of Solving the World's Problems and editor of Poet's Market
"Scott Owens' To is a masterful collection of poems on the subject of poetry, such that poetry as a genre acts as the singular ordering device for this most fascinating and valuable contribution to our understandings of the genre. Owens' poems are replete with insight, humor, wisdom, compassion, irony, honesty, and an unassailable knowledge; Owens is both an experienced and very talented poet, both sides everywhere on display throughout To. Buy this book, read it, and let anyone borrow it; each reader will enjoy, learn, profit, and grow––poetry fan or not, whether twenty or four times twenty."
—Ronald Moran
"Poetry, Scott Owens assures us, owes nothing to anyone. This claim is well substantiated by the poems in To, where Owens uses such classic elements as line and stanza, image and rhyme to heighten language in ways that can't be ignored or denied. Given even half a chance, these poems will carry their readers from whimsy to grief, from despair to delight. They will take readers forward and take them back, from the simple human need to be about to the business of making words do what they must, and thus, in making art, to mean."
—Phebe Davidson
Scott Owens is originally from Greenwood, SC. He holds degrees from Ohio University, UNC Charlotte, and UNC Greensboro and currently lives in Hickory, NC, where he teaches at Catawba Valley Community College, edits Wild Goose Poetry Review and 234, writes for the Outlook Newspaper, and serves as vice-president of the NC Poetry Society. His previous ten books have received awards from the Academy of American Poets, the Pushcart Prize Anthology, the Next Generation/Indie Lit Awards, the North Carolina Writers' Network, the NC Poetry Society, and the Poetry Society of SC.

Fiddledeedee by Shelby Stephenson
Press 53
$14.95, paperback
January, 2015
Available from your local bookstore or the publisher
"Shelby Stephenson can walk out his back door—even in his sleep, it seems, so tithed to the land is his subconscious—and see what lies hidden before our very eyes: in the roods and plowsoles, the tree bark and creek beds, in his beloved spectre ancestors forever singing in his head. He writes about the mystery of the dirt—what it yields, what it reclaims—with more precision and prescience than any poet I can think of. I can hear him now, whispering his sacramental litany, his invocation: 'it is nothing but a song—the long journey home.' Fiddledeedee is Shelby at his best. Blessed be his wholly liturgical verse—the bard, the very voice, of North Carolina."
—Joseph Bathanti, former Poet Laureate of North Carolina
"I am very moved by Fiddledeedee, by the accumulating strength of its forward movement as well as by telling details, of the natural and spiritual world."
—A.R. Ammons, winner of the 1973 and 1993 National Book Award for Poetry
"'What can we do but sing?' Shelby Stephenson writes in Fiddledeedee. In this long poem, he has enriched and deepened the themes of previous books, among them, Middle Creek Poems, The Persimmon Tree Canal, and Poor People. We often have poems of memory that are rooted in the poet's rural upbringing in North Carolina, rustic, elegiac, comic, grim. In Fiddledeedee, memories or homage are not an end in themselves. The poet continually seeks to connect who he was with who he is—exploratory riffs that can surprise his understanding—and therefore ours. The result is a compelling poem of meditative complexity that at the same time is poignant, lyrical, and philosophical."
—Merrill Leffler, author of Mark the Music
"'Where is the word that holds ALL I am trying to say?' asks Shelby Stephenson in the Prologue to Fiddledeedee. He unleashes a poetic answer that plays and keens, singing its long journey home, immersing us in the living language of a place, the East Carolina flatlands. With three-line stanzas, often breathtaking, Stephenson leads us through the lay of his ancestral land. He gives voice to his place and its people and does so unashamedly, with passion and precision, and, yes, with real country music."
—Kathryn Stripling Byer, former Poet Laureate of North Carolina
Shelby Stephenson lives on the small farm where he was born near Benson, in the Coastal Plain of North Carolina. "Most of my poems come out of that background," he says, "where memory and imagination play on one another." Educated at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he is professor emeritus at the University of North Carolina-Pembroke, and served as editor of the international literary journal Pembroke Magazine from 1979 until his retirement in 2010. His awards include the Zoe Kincaid Brockman Memorial Award, North Carolina Network Chapbook Prize, Bright Hill Press Chapbook Award, and the Brockman-Campbell Poetry Prize. He has published a poetic documentary Plankhouse (with photographs by Roger Manley), plus ten chapbooks, most recently Steal Away (Jacar Press). Family Matters: Homage to July, the Slave Girl won the 2008 Bellday Poetry Prize and the 2009 Oscar Arnold Young Award. The state of North Carolina presented Shelby with the 2001 North Carolina Award in Literature, and in 2014 he was inducted into the North Carolina Literary Hall of Fame. He will be installed as North Carolina's eighth poet laureate this year.

Latvia, July 4, 1941 they forced many Jews in the shul putting it on fire; everyone was burned alive

Israel, like the non-radical Islamic world. will be happy see the ISIS beheaded for once.
Kids shouldn't have "uninstructed" Internet access, better to train them how to use it responsibly
What if years from now, IS were to control substantial territory? What world havoc would that wreak?
Rambam writes the verse's double term refers to 2 messiahs: first King David; 2nd the final Mashiach
The Gaza flotilla has been rightfully and legally blocked by Israel's Navy, with greetings from Bibi
The president described the attack as "an act that drew on a long history of bombs and arson and shots fired at churches, not random, but as a means of control, a way to terrorize and oppress…"
"The only [candidate] that's going to give real support to Israel is me," said the 69-year-old Trump.
And whereas at the outset the plan was that Iran would have to surrender most of its centrifuges, it will now be able to retain several thousand.

In addition to the palace's tremendous size it was home to the "hanging gardens," which were counted among the seven wonders of the ancient world.
It's election season, so Republicans can't be blamed for expressing outrage when the political platform at last week's Democratic National Convention removed support for Jerusalem being the capital of Israel.
Elie Wiesel and Ronald Lauder recently criticized the Obama administration in separately placed newspaper advertisements. Instead of listening to Wiesel and Lauder's concerns, Haaretz reported, administration officials expressed "harsh criticism" over their ads.
President Obama's nastiness toward Prime Minister Netanyahu would be alarming even it were merely a matter of style to impress the Muslim world. But Obama's motivation is much more substantive. He seeks to impose a solution – whether it leads to peace or it doesn't – that will return Israel essentially to the 1949-1967 armistice lines, including a loss of Jewish sovereignty in the Old City of Jerusalem.
It's not easy to counter images of Arab families purportedly being evicted from their homes – such as the pictures of residents of the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah that were published last week in The New York Times and elsewhere. But Israel must at least try.
In January 2001, as President Bill Clinton and Prime Minister Ehud Barak begged Yasir Arafat to take a break from killing Jews to accept the Old City of Jerusalem, hundreds of thousands of Israelis rallied in Jerusalem to oppose the city's division. Simultaneously, Rabbi Haskel Lookstein's Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun hosted an event in solidarity.
Rabbi Asher Lopatin, longtime spiritual leader of Chicago's Modern Orthodox Anshe Sholom B'nai Israel Congregation, comments about his famous congregant, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel; Jewish rights to settle in Israel; plans to build in the Negev; Orthodoxy and pluralism; and political talk from the pulpit.
On Sunday night, many observant Jews will be among the hundreds of millions of people watching the Jets fan's nightmare as the Giants play the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.
During a recent trip to Israel, I couldn't help but notice the dearth of fellow visitors and think of the many religiously observant American Jews who stridently demand that Israel never cede any land.

We stock 3ft x 5ft sizes in nylon and polyester and 4ft x 6ft and 5ft x 8ft in nylon. We also stock 4x6-inch and 12x18-inch stick flags. The polyester ones are made outside of the U.S. and are excellent value at $9.95 each. They are good in quality but not as durable as the nylon product.
We now carry Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags. We offer different types of Tibetan prayer flags and sets.

The Dolphins have kept Richie away from the facility after allegations came out saying that Incognito bullied Jonathan Martin. I think Incognito will have a very good case, because as of right now everything is speculation.

Stephen King's The Stand is not an easy book to adapt for film. It's a sprawling epic that casts a wide net with its characters, eventually veering off from standard post-apocalyptic plague scenario to become something otherworldly. Beyond the story-level difficulties, getting the movie made is proving a challenge for Warner Bros., as they've hired and lost two directors for the project in recent memory: Ben Affleck, and most recently, Scott Cooper.
But perhaps three is the lucky number, as far as directors and The Stand are concerned. Badass Digest contends that Paul Greengrass is the latest filmmaker in the mix for the adaptation. The Captain Phillips and Bourne director is "at the top of [the studio's] wish list," according to the report, although it's far from a sealed deal. At the moment, Greengrass is just the top example of the kind of director Warner Bros. is looking to hire.
Well, this is an incredibly stupid idea. How on Earth can anyone make "The Stand" a movie? It would require slashing most of the book. Rework it as a HBO miniseries.

SportsNation Blog Archives Russell Westbrook
Russell Westbrook got a suspension-drawing tech; Kevin Durant was not happy
Russell Westbrook had an incredible statistical day Sunday: 54 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.
But other things did not go as well for the Oklahoma City Thunder star. His team lost 116-104 at the Indiana Pacers, which kept them behind the New Orleans Pelicans for the final Western Conference playoff spot because of the head-to-head tiebreaker. And the guard was called for the following technical, which will have him suspended one game, per NBA rules:
Westbrook's injured teammate, Kevin Durant, was apparently not happy with the call:
Durant, who has been rather outspoken of late, did not delete the tweet (at least as of this writing). He followed with another that showed how much it pains him to watch this playoff race from the sideline:
Good fight fellas! Love yall, let's get this one tomorrow!! #Imissgoingtobattlewiththemob— Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) April 13, 2015
If the technical isn't rescinded, Westbrook will miss Monday's home game against the Portland Trail Blazers. That game is followed by a visit to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Pelicans, meanwhile, also travel to Minnesota, then play host to the San Antonio Spurs.
Both teams are 43-37.
UPDATE: The NBA rescinded Westbrook's technical, meaning he will play Monday night.
Map: Oklahoma stands alone on NBA MVP; everyone else stands with Stephen Curry
On Wednesday we asked fans: Who, among the top four choices, is your pick for 2014-15 NBA MVP?
As of Thursday evening, the results were nearly unanimous: Stephen Curry, the prodigious point guard who has led the Golden State Warriors to be the best team in the NBA, is the one.
Unless you're an Oklahoman:
Yes, Texas chose Curry over Houston Rockets star James Harden and, even more surprisingly, Ohio picked Steph over homecoming king LeBron James. But the Sooner State is standing with its own point guard: Russell Westbrook, whose recent triple-double binge has helped keep the Oklahoma City Thunder in playoff position despite the absence of Serge Ibaka and reigning MVP Kevin Durant.
If you haven't yet voted, now it's your turn: Do you stand with Oklahoma, or the rest of America?
A Look Back At NBA Players Who Have Rocked The Mask
Oklahoma City guard Russell Westbrook has been on a tear this season. Even after he fractured his cheekbone after taking an inadvertent knee to the face, Westbrook returned to the court a few days later unfazed -- and with some new face gear.
It got us thinking about other notable NBA players who have worn masks at some point in their careers:
LeBron James
In 2014, LeBron's black carbon-fiber mask was a hit among fans, but the NBA requested he wear a clear mask to protect his then-broken nose. Even so, LeBron managed to be LeBron, scoring 31 points on 13-of-19 shooting in a game Feb. 27 against the New York Knicks.
Kobe Bryant
Mask or no mask, Kobe is going to score. But with the mask, he put up 38 points and eight rebounds in a game against the Sacramento Kings on March 2, 2012.
Chris Paul
After being elbowed in the nose by San Antonio Spurs guard Danny Green in a game on March 9, 2012, Paul wore a mask for several weeks to protect his face.
Richard Hamilton
Hamilton made the mask a thing of his own. Despite breaking his nose during the 2003-2004 NBA season, Hamilton led the Detroit Pistons' championship team in scoring with 17.6 points per game. Hamilton went on to wear the mask the rest of his career.
Kyrie Irving
After his jaw was broken, the mask affected Irving in a good way. The Cavaliers' point guard had what was at the time a career-high 41 points, plus five rebounds and five assists against the Knicks on Dec. 15, 2012.
Tracy McGrady
McGrady needed to wear a protective mask in 2006 when he played for the Houston Rockets after taking an accidental elbow to the nose from former NBA player Jake Voskuhl.
Alonzo Mourning
Although it was for a short amount of time, Mourning wore a mask in 1998 to protect his fractured cheekbone.
Bill Laimbeer
It is fitting that Laimbeer, one of the more physical players in the history of the NBA, needed to wear a mask during his career.
Jason Terry
When Jason Terry was a member of the Dallas Mavericks, he had to hop on the runway wearing a protective mask for a stretch of games during the 2009-2010 season.
Joe Johnson
As a member of the Phoenix Suns, Johnson suffered an orbital fracture during a second-round playoff game against the Mavericks. He missed the rest of that series, but returned in Game 3 of the 2005 Western Conference finals against the eventual NBA champion Spurs.
Antonio McDyess
The Pistons had two masked men in 2008 when McDyess joined Hamilton as a result of a broken nose.
Kenyon Martin
When Martin was playing at an All-Star level in 2002, the forward broke his nose during a game against the Miami Heat, forcing him to protect his face.
Andrew Bogut
After former Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson's hand hit Bogut in the face during a game in 2005, Bogut rocked the protective mask for a stretch of games as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Wally Szczerbiak
Broken noses are a theme with protective masks. Szczerbiak wore his mask because of one during a 2009 game against the Knicks.
Penn: OKC may look to deal Kevin Durant next season
Unless you've been separated from all technology for the past month, you're aware that Russell Westbrook is on an absolute tear -- five triple-doubles in six games, to be exact. But what you might not be aware of is that NBA analyst and former NBA executive Tom Penn thinks Westbrook's hot streak could have Oklahoma City Thunder management thinking about moving Durant next season:
"I think this burst from Westbrook makes it much more likely that Durant ultimately gets traded next year. ... Sam Presti has proven that he does not ever want to lose anybody for nothing. So he traded James Harden a year early to avoid a potential luxury tax problem a year later.
"The Kevin Durant drumbeat next year is going to be so loud because he will not commit early to Oklahoma City contractually because the rules are against that. He can't get the same contract if he signs early as if he just goes to free agency and resigns.
So if Sam Presti doesn't get that commitment, he'll look to to trade Kevin Durant. And looking at the performance of Westbrook and the team around Westbrook will make it easier for him to do that potentially."

Spurs slam Thunder; is the series over?
Spurs slam Thunder in Game 2
Things are getting ugly in the Western Conference finals, after the San Antonio Spurs followed up a strong Game 1 with an earth-shattering Game 2. Danny Green hit seven 3-pointers. Russell Westbrook was held to 15 points on 24 shots and Kevin Durant 15 on 16. In the end, the host Spurs absolutely smashed the Oklahoma City Thunder 112-77 to take a 2-0 series lead. Is this thing over, or will the Thunder get back in it in OKC?

The Good
If the previous five issues have established anything about MS. MARVEL, it is a tone of unbridled, gleeful joy punctuated by the kinds of teen problems that are less angsty and more ripe for sympathy tinged with chuckles. At the very least we're laughing WITH Kamala rather than AT her...most of the time, anyway. I mean come on, sometimes she brings it on herself. G. Willow Wilson has gone out of her way to make Ms. Marvel about as relatable a superhero as you can get while still being a truly unique voice in comic books, mainstream and otherwise. Too general and she'd have nothing to make her stand out, but leaning too hard in the other direction makes her a human soapbox defined by her situation rather than her actions. The way Wilson writes her is JUST right. This issue shows a Kamala who's acclimating nicely to her new powers, even taking on some pretty outlandish forms, until her parents, at their wits end, send her to their local Sheikh for guidance. Defying Kamala's expectations, he sends her on a sort of spirit quest to find a mentor that can help her after she reveals that she's been getting in trouble because she's helping others. She's just not...great at it. Who she runs across in the sewers, tracking down more of the Inventor's twisted...inventions should fill the role. The pacing in this issue is perfect, giving us a great look at how Ms. Marvel is changing and adjusting, but still learning in the process AND juggling everything else in her life. We also learn the identity of the Inventor and...after last issue's reveal left me scratching my head, I couldn't be happier with what they establish here. This issue is light on drama, but still has plenty of thrills and goes all-out, completely successfully, on the laughs.
Jacob Wyatt tags in for Adrian Alphona and I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some trepidation about this switch-up. Alphona was SUCH a huge part of defining this book that I wasn't sure ANYone could take his place, let alone an artist I hadn't heard of. A quick perusal of his work allayed a great many of my fears but actually seeing the visuals allayed a great many more. This is a beautiful book and while it doesn't have the same ultra-fluid look, it brings an easy glee to the writing. This isn't to say the characters look stiff, when action jumps off there's a very natural motion to each panel, and I haven't even brought up the beautiful color palette courtesy of series regular Ian Herring. The colors are on-point all the time, and Herring doesn't get an easy job with a huge diversity of settings and lighting to choose from, but he sets the tone and setting perfectly each time.
The Bad
The ultra-fluidity that I mentioned before is only really missed whenever Ms. Marvel engages with her elasticity. This is the only time I feel like the art fell a little flat, looking more like exaggerated perspective shots than superpowers.
The Verdict
It's certainly not a major complaint and the new artist acquits himself amazingly well, which isn't an easy feat when filling in for someone with such a one-of-a-kind look as Alphona. But Wyatt's look is definitely all his own as well, so the uplifting tone of whimsy is maintained seamlessly. This is, very simply, one of the most fun books on the shelf and this issue continues that. Even Mr. Jack-Of-All-Books fits in perfectly and I'm actually hoping he sticks around for a few more issues, not just because of who he is, but how well I think he'd fit in...or really NOT fit in, which is always the funnier option.

Milne: 'I owe Southland softball a lot'
Relevant offers
When Demons product Daniel Milne steps into the world championship arena, he will spare a thought for two late, great Southland softball stalwarts.
Milne has lived and played ball in Christchurch for 15 years but the 34-year-old Black Sox utility player says Southland gave him his softball grounding.
"They started me off and gave me the opportunity . . . I owe a lot to the people in Southland softball, as well as some of the coaches I had back then."
Milne said former Black Sox infielder Jamie Campbell and his father, Niall Campbell, had been two of his early influential coaches. Both Campbells have passed away but Jamie's sons are still among Southland's top players, with Tim Campbell representing the Junior Black Sox at the 2012 junior world championships.
Milne said his uncle Russell Frisby also helped shape his softball career before he left Invercargill to play for Christchurch United alongside his cousin Jamie Frisby, Russell's son.
Milne now runs his own painting company and has been kept busy since the Canterbury earthquakes but while he's at the world championships he's left his business in safe hands - former Canterbury and Black Sox infielder Paul deLatour is his business partner.
Milne will have family in the stands at Auckland's Rosedale Park, including his wife, Nic. The former Canterbury women's softball representative is due to have their second child in June. Son Austin, 5, will also be an avid Black Sox barracker. "He's looking forward to see my games," Milne said.
Southland has had world championship representatives before, including pitcher Garth Tattersfield in the late 1960s and Jamie Campbell in 1980, but only Milne and former Southland Boys' High School student Clayton Willocks, who hailed from Clinton in South Otago, have been selected for a world tournament in New Zealand. Willocks was in the 2004 title-winning team in Christchurch.
Milne - nicknamed Whero (Maori for Red) - made his Black Sox debut in 1999 as a 21-year-old. He was an unlucky omission from the 2004 gold medal-winning New Zealand squad in Christchurch but later established himself in a group that won 112 out of 120 games between 2004 and 2009.
He forced himself into the starting lineup at left-field in the 2009 world championships in Canada, playing 10 games and hitting .313 with five hits from 16 at-bats. Milne also made critical defensive plays and returned home as one of the success stories on a Black Sox squad that lost to Australia.
He goes into these world championships in fine hitting form, having belted a three-run automatic home run in a 9-0 warm-up win over South Africa. "I got lucky," he chuckled.
"The team is coming along really well. The pitchers are starting to get into their rhythm and the hitters are starting to hit."
The versatile Milne played in the infield in some of the Black Sox's buildup games at club tournaments in Auckland but has been used predominantly at left-field or right-field in latter outings since an extra infielder, Nathan Nukunuku, joined the squad.
He said losing the last final to Australia 5-0 still hurts. "But we are trying not to think about that. That's in the past, we are trying to look to the future now. We're just looking to take each day as it comes and take the opportunity in front of us."
Milne has learnt from what went wrong in Saskatoon four years ago and believes he is a better player now.
Nor will the 2013 necessarily be his swansong now the tournament is played every two years. "I'm just focusing on this one, and then I'll see how things are. But I don't know about the 'R' word [retirement] yet." Fairfax NZ
