Marty on Zipporah

Marty McConnell and her blog are well worth checking out. If you're in NYC on a Monday night, go visit Bar 13, even if you don't think you like poetry that much. This scene is definitely best experienced live.

This most recent poem on the blog is really striking to me. Mir, you should put "Miriam Cast Out" online so I can link to it here. I am now aware of 2 poems imagining Moses through the eyes of women in his life. It's a pretty different view than most of what we get, to say the least.

The writing exercise this came from, apparently:
"write a poem of instruction or command, telling someone specific how to forget you."

Ah, you discovered that poem! I was going to point you to it. She's got something on Eve up there somewhere too. So good, I'm jealous. But more productively I'm dreaming of some sort of tag-team midrash reading.

Sure, I'll post Miriam Cast Out. Remind me.
