Russell Banks’s Novel ‘Lost Memory of Skin’ - Review - NYTimes.com
I love the works of Russell Banks, especially his short stories and his powerful novels, Rule of the Bone and Continental Drift. Banks always seems to be a step ahead of his contemporaries. His powers of observation are uncanny and his prose style has the musicality of Updike.
An idea for a novel like Lost Memory of Skin has been in the back of my head for a couple of years now. It might be the next project after I finish writing my novel Viscosity, not sure yet. Anyway, I cannot wait to read his latest offering. check out the link

Tonight's Update
At the Poets For Peace reading tonight at Rock Hill, I read my new poem "Without Actually Dying" and some Vonnegut quotes. I think that it went very well, got some applause and a few people came up to me and asked for a copy of the poem. I ended my part of the reading with the Vonnegut quotes and got some great laughs. The turn-out was excellent, all the poets that were scheduled showed up, we had regular customers and some student poets in the audience. My daughter Kerr (she's 14, the reading inspired her to write a few poems too. She's found her poetical voice at a very early age, a damn talented writer).
Rereading my novel, in the beginning I was frustrated and unhappy with my prose. I am now excited and elated. As I read further into the narrative my writing gets tighter, better and doesn't lose the realism or the lyricism. Editing it as a whole, no longer seems such a daunting task. I actually looking forward to the final edit.

A case against watching 9/11 ten year memorial
If I were ten years old, then yeah, this article is apt enough for parents to take heed. I'm forty-three, damn close to forty-four, I know what disturbs me, I know my own comfort zone well. I think that goes for the majority of people. Everything in this article is a given, no, it is common sense. If one is not moved to anxiety, nervousness, awe or remorse by the memories of 9/11 then one is desensitized and that is the individual's problem, not a doctor that decided to write a trite article in psychology Today
that states the obvious and tries to protect people from life experience, to protect one from one's self. Just my thoughts for what they're worth.
