New Vermont Blogs

Typepad was down yesterday, so I had to wait until today to post some of this stuff.

New blogs on my blogroll:

What i saw today: Freelance writer Caleb Daniloff's three-month-old blog. Daniloff contributes to the Boston Globe, Rutland Herald and VPR, but you can read him unfiltered on his own site. Here's a post of his from July 6 entitled "Four smiling dead people":

      In the obituary section of today’s Free Press, each of the four black-and-white photos shows the deceased smiling, grinning even. This happy group – Harry, 84, Ida, 73,  Bruce E. “Bimbo,” 55, and Royce, 70 – is now perhaps sharing some sacred and blissful knowledge. But years before their deaths, each is squinting, almost in delight, at the same spot, as if into the same camera lens. It’s only Royce – dead a year but with a birthday today – whose smile looks a little reticent, as if he’d noticed something beyond the photographer, something of concern in the middle distance.

Mama Says: "A forum for mothers to share creative work and community resources."

Poet Tree: Poetry blog from Samantha Kolber. Here's a post from July 10:

Someday he will be more than this
pretend lizard in the back seat
I'm gonna eat you
pretend tiger shark because he
just wants to eat people
his play voice rises higher than anywhere
I've ever flown to.
