Clouds and Fog

This is too weird for words (pun intended)


***************************


I guess I don't use the word dark as much as I thought I did, though this cloud business doesn't really count variants of words, in the case "darkly" "darkened" etc. And thank God "sadness" isn't the top word. A friend wrote me and told me to brace myself because reviewers will most certainly notice my repeated usage of the word.

Harriet

"Harriet," the Poetry Foundation's blog, replaced their weekly journals some months ago.

What do you think of the format used for the Poetry Foundation's blog?
I LOVE "Harriet"
I like the multiplicity of voices and read it every day
I read it sometimes, but not often
It is too schizophrenic, too many voices
Harriet? I have never heard of this blog

Yay, I am no longer on-call! I am definitely going to the Japanese baths tomorrow.

I definitely have a recurring light/dark dichotomy in my work too. The big theme that comes up a lot for me in repeated words, though is smoke/fire.

I actually found this concordance thing fascinating. There are a number of words I had no idea I used so often. I had no idea the word "hands" appears so much in this book! That was quite a shocker to me.

This is so strange. So very very strange. Apparently, you are easy to read as well. Well, that's good to know.

The weird thing is that the scanner they used to do this read the word "The" [capitalized] as "Ihe," and hence one of your top words is "ihe." (The serif on the bottom of the captial T must be formidable!)

I'm assuming that they don't count words like "the" and "I" in the concordance, but they do count "ihe."
