One thing that’s perplexed me a bit about the various responses Teachout’s piece has provoked is that, unlike many, I don’t […]

The magic number in jazz is five. A rhythm section consisting of a piano, bass, and drums, and two horns or maybe a horn and a guitar. The rhythm section carries the listener aloft, while the horns take center stage. That describes most of my favorite jazz. […]

The hills are burning,
burning. There’s haze draped
all along the knees of the Cascades.
There’s ash falling in The Dalles.
I can taste smoke from here.
A storm sideswipes the coast
and pushes air through the Gorge
like toothpaste through a tube. But no rain
this far east, just the wind
that drives the […]

Why do they bother selling wine?
They could bottle this air–
mountain air crisp with the cidery smell of ripe pears
and fresh-cut grass. And the flowers!
A riot of fragrance more vivid than their colors,
invisible tidal wave of tangy-sweet spice.
No wonder the bees are drunk,
staggering through the lavender like […]

So I kept for myself
everything that’s holy
and shiny as new dimes
laying on a dresser table,
a birthday passes with only a hum
of a song , an anniversary remains
with the scars the event gave you,
on the streets we can marvel
about being above ground
in then sun, although it’s overcast,
indoors we […]
