Getting Into Kansas


GETTING INTO KANSAS


“Get into novel deep
enough so it will
go on at the same time”
—Sylvia Plath
Unabridged Journal
July 25, 1956
_____________

Getting out of that dull paralysis—
Realizing that it’s not fiction

Some days the novel's real—
Time slows down just for you
_____________

Nourishing one's life with the
The concrete imagination

Daily, simply reading—
The Touchable Imagination
_____________

Call it eidetic imagery—
Beyond crummy TV & Movies

Catapulting you thru adolescence—
That's Midwest Magic Realism
________________

Getting to know how it works—
Reading words for a living
