NEW Interviews with Margaret

"Chatting with Betsy" has a delightful brand-new interview with me, "Journeying Through Life's Synchronicities," #ChattingwithBetsy. The previous interview we did bounced all the way to a listener in Vienna, where it sparked the plan to found a Gonzofest Europe - whose first event then started percolating in Dublin, Ireland, tentatively for September 2024. But it was a tall lift to find a venue still available on that short notice. We have a tremendous lineup of talent ready to jump in a plan...

“Disremembering and Then Remembering My Life” – Memoir video

The Carolina Book and Writer Conference has a video clip up now of my memoir presentation "Disremembering and Then Remembering Your Life" at their recent conference. Human memory awakens and extinguishes at will. This quote offers a good launching pad for why memoir wiriting is so educational and also so transformative. You can start writing a memoir and stop for a year, blocked by what you will have to reveal. Or you can stop as at a wall because you think you have forgotten. Well, of course,...

HARDCOVER Keep THIS Quiet Too! – finally

Keep THIS Quiet Too!  is one of my favorite books by me. Readers often tell me how much they like it. Yet it's not nearly so well known as Keep This Quiet! The human story in it is complex, about four writers' lives as they intermix with each other. Three very intelligent, fabulous males in all their complexity, spread across a continent and a globe, that I, in my "hub" in Morocco or leaving once a year for a month in the United States kept exciting ties with. Just landed on New York City ...

“Bold and searching” – BookLife “Gets” and Loves “Particle Pinata Poems”

IN PREMIUM COLOR: BookLife writes: Harrell’s bold and searching collection takes readers on an odyssey of inquiry, with the first and foremost question being 'How to establish that / Yes, I am / One with God and God is / One with You.' But rather than provide an answer, Harrell’s poems seek to use the question as a gateway into a thought-space where the act of seeking knowledge results in spiritual transcendence. In a note, Harrell describes her spirituality as a conscious, living thing shaped ...

A Palimpsest of Thanks

—Behind The Hell’s Angels Letters   11, 12, 13 Palimpsest Time with his old face Death with his skull face God with his No Face Under my own face —Milton Klonsky   What did William Blake have to do with The Hell's Angels Letters book? More than you might think. In my mind his artwork was the artbook I didn't work on in 1971 or so. This was the artbook I did. It all went back to that. But let's take the story slowly. 1994. It was an unlikely event ...
