You can work… or you can talk about your work… and lately it’s been the first part for me, I’ve been totally wrapped up in “I Did It Because…” which will be 64 pages, full of those poems of mine that kids and teachers have liked best plus about 20 pages of how poems happen. Michael Martchenko did the illustrations, which are so funny you’ll crack up even after you’ve seen them 67 times. That’s why I haven’t made any new notes here for awhile.

The next thing I’d like to do is take some photos of my studio and show you where I work. First of all I have to tidy it up. Second I have to get the cat off the drawing board, where she likes to sprawl on top of wet illustrations and piles of pencil crayons. (How CAN that be comfortable? I do not know!)

Look for “I Did It Because…” in September. Talk to you soon,

Loris
