May 12, 2018March 8, 2026 Charlotte Hamrick

Friday Reads: Big Magic

May 4, 2018 Charlotte Hamrick

April 24, 2018 Charlotte Hamrick

Brightly you shone in the crowd, yellow straw hat, gossamer scarf a floating flag in the breeze stating, “I am here!” Saxophone and guitar notes wrapped around your swaying body, arms reaching for sunshine in a sea of song, feet … Continue reading Requiem for a Dancer at Jazz Fest

On the Lake

April 14, 2018April 14, 2018 Charlotte Hamrick

Clouds over head holding their breath, flocculent cheeks distended, rumbling a promise from deep within. We, bobbing on gently swelling waves, sun-warmed wood cooling slowly beneath us, oars beginning a tap-tap-tap warning against the boat. A world enclosed in suspended … Continue reading On the Lake

River Mamma

April 12, 2018 Charlotte Hamrick

The sinewy arm of the river hugs the city, a lover grown older and wiser in the ways life. Visitors often choose the neon and flash of the streets, the furious noise of movement, vitality on steroids pumped up with … Continue reading River Mamma

River of Music

April 10, 2018April 10, 2018 Charlotte Hamrick

Fingers of wind blew my hair around my head like Medusa’s snakes as I walked along the river levee listening to the slurp of water on shore, it’s brackish smell strong in my nostrils. Strands of music born on the … Continue reading River of Music

803 Monroe

March 11, 2018March 11, 2018 Charlotte Hamrick

I needed to call you but I’d forgotten your number, the one I always thought was burned into my memory — for hours I anxiously thumbed through white and yellow pages, forgetting then remembering your name. Between the pages I … Continue reading 803 Monroe
