Quote from Joyce Carol Oates
The writer is always writing, always sounding words, measuring cadences, hearing, feeling, attending to, taking the pulse of secret rhythms. Content yields to, or crystallizes around, form, form is subordinate to voice. we write by hear, we experiment with 'voice' without knowing what it is.

Writing and Music
The writer must be in love with language, with the words themselves, the sound of words on the page, the music they make in meaning. -Lynn Freed

Drummer Wonderful
New ebook coming soon.Thanks for the feedback. Sketch of Drummer
Wonderful. I never learned his name. At my alma mater, many sensational
music students and faculty members performed in the university orchestra. Some
graduates succeeded on Broadway or in Europe and sing
professionally today. Summer cruises were another destination for performers. During
fall semester, one student stood out. Drummer Wonderful was an engaging
character. For most of the academic year, August to May, he was an
undergraduate, perhaps Middle Eastern. Tall, shaggy dark hair, scraggly beard,
cigarette dangling out of one corner of his mouth, hoodie, flannel shirt,
nondescript pants, and basketball shoes.
