Comment on Back Story: A Vivid Portrait in Black and White & Promiscuous Saxophone by John C. Mannone tag:blog.roseandthornjournal.com,2012-01-14:15465881 Kathleen Boston McCune 2012-01-14T14:54:18Z 2012-01-14T14:54:18Z I have never studied my modes of writing nor which expressions were better, when; but I find that in reflection much of my impetus in writing seems similar to yours except that I have a strong compulsion to write the history of my family accurately, so spend a great deal of time researching that era. Then for fun I have the same compulsion to write of sex, romance and suspense to shake out the fingers and brains cells....so to speak.

Having the back story to Jessie Carty's poem elevates the experience. It's important to have fun with your writing!
