If I stumble into a dry spell, where new writing just isn't flowing, I'll take up an old piece and try to rework it or try writing something in another form. For example, if I'm stumped on a poem, I'll turn to prose or a blog post or something to get the muscle moving again. If you write every day, which I try to do, the muscle stays nimble and ready. If you don't work the muscle, it will atrophy like any other. If I'm too busy with the distractions of every day life to write anything substantial, I'll jot down a few notes or write a letter. Anything to keep the writing muscle active.(less)

National Poetry Month 2025, Week Five: My Poem, “On Roots and Resilience”

Furnas, Azores, photo by SEA

To close National Poetry Month for 2025, I’d like to share a poem I wrote in the tradition of occasional poetry—a form composed to mark a specific moment or honor a particular request. I was honored when my wife Samantha and her co-author Rimi Chakraborty invited me to contribute a poem to their powerful book, Beyond Resilience to Rootsilience. Our friendship with R
