Time to clear the bulletin board

November 25, 2018


Keep Going is done, so it’s time to clear the bulletin board for whatever is next. Here’s a snapshot of the paper scraps (and guardian spirits) before they go:

The bulletin board

May 1, 2018


I pin photos and magazine clippings and index cards on a bulletin board above my desk for inspiration when I’m writing. I keep a box up on my bookshelf labeled “bulletin board,” and whenever I start a new book, I take a photo of whatever’s left up there, clear off all the contents, and dump them in the box. Going back through the box is like digging through a little time capsule. Above is 1/3 of the current board. (Clockwise from the left: David Hockney, Sister Corita Kent, Bill Cunningham (photo by Andy Warhol), Tove Jansson, Walt Whitman, Phil Connors, Lynda Barry, Nina Katchadourian, Amy Krouse Rosenthal, Marcel Duchamp, and Hannah Höch.)
