Condos a Poem http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2014/01/condos-a-poem/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=condos-a-poem http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2014/01/condos-a-poem/#comments Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:00:04 +0000 http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/?p=5175 Condos condos everywhere
Open space we cannot spare

Just ten stories near a Metro stop
The yuppie glow of a granite countertop

No corner pubs for a drink after dark
Yes oh yes near a large dog park

No culture here or anywhere
Too edgy for my lender to bear

Condos condos everywhere
Open space we cannot spare

Stories, stories, and more links about stories http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2013/07/stories-stories-and-more-links-about-stories/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=stories-stories-and-more-links-about-stories http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2013/07/stories-stories-and-more-links-about-stories/#comments Sat, 20 Jul 2013 10:00:29 +0000 http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/?p=4344 I’m thinking about narration and narratives and sharing recently.

Doug Fishbone and friends – Adventureland Golf, a conceptual-art miniature golf course
Bite – Felt Up, strange stories told via puppets
Why people love to get lost in books, a brief essay
100 books that SHOULD be written
Four Literary Short Films, “like a music video, for books.”
Outside Lands podcast, history and preservation in San Francisco
Do You Speak Science, a blog about science and words
Trayvon Redux, a poem by Rita Dove
Hi, moments of narratives, shown on maps
Bagels and Grits, a just-starting-out paired-photo blog in the spirit of 3191 Miles Apart and Hipsters and Clogs
Hacking Teddy Ruxpin, exactly what you think it is
Incomplete manifesto for growth, a set of guidelines
750 Words, a site that is sort of a gamification of daily writing
