Comment on Back Story: A Vivid Portrait in Black and White & Promiscuous Saxophone by John C. Mannone

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.

I was really taken with this poem in the Fall issue. Having the back story to Jessie Carty's poem elevates the experience. It's important to have fun with your writing!
