For this week’s #ThursdayBooksandBeer I’m reading the new poetry collection by my old friend Helen Lehndorf, The Bruise Palette. I preordered it from Bruce McKenzie Booksellers in Palmerston North and it arrived yesterday, beautifully gift wrapped. To match the bruise palette of the beautifully designed cover (image by Kirsty Porter), I’ve gone with a Cali Black Pale Ale from the Mill as I escaped from the rain at the Bendigo Hotel. “What I am looking for / and what you are looking for / are not the same thing. Everyone / has a personal definition of treasure. / What’s precious is a choice.” #reading #literature #poetry #oldfriends #craftbeer

Mark Wyner Won’t Comply

This is Hank Williams Sr. He used to live above my studio.

We used to startle each other. I’d open my door and he’d be there on a tree a foot away. We’d stop and stare at each other. Then calmly walk our separate ways.

On this day he just leapt onto the screen and stayed there for a couple of minutes while I talked to him.

The latest book by my Iraq battle buddy and roommate, Fred Minnick. I’d gotten word today there’s a couple pages where I’m a part of his story. I called him and he read the pages in which he tells of one of our experiences having mortar rounds miss our quarters and then, unable to sleep, he opened a Listerine bottle full of whiskey he’d received in a care package, I grabbed a couple cigars and we sat outside in the area between the trailers we were in dubbed “NCO Alley.”
