Thursday
Yesterday was the last day of class for a week (spring break) so I hope to make a bit of progress, writing-wise.
Too busy.

About Me
- Name: greg rappleye
- Location: Grand Haven, Michigan, United States
I am a writer who lives and works in West Michigan. I am a graduate of Albion College, the University of Michigan Law School, and the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. I have published three full-length collections of poetry: Holding Down the Earth (Sky Books, 1995), A Path Between Houses (University of Wisconsin Press, 2000) which won the Brittingham Prize, and Figured Dark (University of Arkansas Press, 2007), which won the University of Arkansas Press Poetry Series. I have also published three chapbooks: Eros, Psyche and the Death of Narrative (Candle Creek Press, 2006), The Afterlight (WVU-Legal Studies Forum, 2006), and The Divisible Field ( WVU-Legal Studies Forum, 2008), and have completed a fourth manuscript, Tropical Landscape with Ten Hummingbirds. I am working on a novel. My work has received a Pushcart Prize, the Mississippi Review Prize, the Paumanok Poetry Prize, the Greensboro Review Literary Award in Poetry, and the Arts & Letters Prize. I was a Bread Loaf Fellow in 2002. When not writing, I work full-time as corporation counsel for a local government and also teach part-time in the English Department at Hope College in Holland, Michigan.

I feel the same. I want to turn my phone off and shirk all my non-fun obligations but of course, that's not possible. By the way, I did not listen to that Albee bit. I love Albee, though, so I wish I had. Hey - I googled my name just now and this man's name came up on a genealogy website. His name was Leonaidus Socrates Lawhon. I ask you: why did you not give me a name like that? I'm going to hold this against you forever.
I totally hear you on that. I get up at four most days, mostly because I open Starbucks a lot, but it just seems as though my personal writing has been put on the "back burner" to coin a cliche. I wish I was posting and reading on a more regular schedule. I'll see you soon, I am sure. By the way I don't know that I have ever given you my blog address to check out.
