The Sentence This morning she would not be dressing in her hospital scrubs. Today she would dress in a skirt and blouse. She would bite her lip and accompany her husband to court. She would stand beside him and pray silently for God to have mercy on him. It was all she could do.
The Painted Lady Night after night, the Painted Lady consumed John. He would wake up in the mornings exhausted. Dark circles formed under his eyes, and he began to lose weight. He could not seem to take his eyes off of her.
A Prima Donna in Queens When Dallas feature writer Tackett becomes stranded in New York because of storm-related delays at the airport, she appreciates the airline offering her a stayover room at the Holiday Inn... until she discovers that her roommate is the very same shrill prima donna who has been making life miserable for the counter agent and other passengers. "Roommate? No way!" was her immediate response, but to no avail. Never underestimate a writer, however. The best revenge, Tackett demonstrates, is writing well. Enjoy.
Poetry's Door We found Kudzu Monthly Poetry Editor Lou Harper posting this essay in another venue. Quickly, we realized that her thoughts about poetry apply equally to other forms of written comunication, and we are pleased to present this thought-provoking essay.
An Indian Without Reservation
For the February Poetry Feature,
we present the poetry of Native-American writer and artist Ralph Ianuzzi, who
is also known by his tribal name Sauganash Tooshkenig.
The Ghosts of Dalton, Georgia Newspaper feature writer and editor
Connie Scott sent us this clever bit of Americanna. She's
back on the trail of ghosts, and we even wheedled a photo out
of her this time.

The Fast Way In the multi-million dollar
business that weight loss has become, dieters are all searching for that
magic pill, that infallible plan, that effortless method to achieve
their target weight. What if the secret, though controversial, isn't any
more difficult than one study suggests and the author's experience confirms.
If you're interested in losing weight, let Lisa Binkley take you on a
guided tour of "the fast way" to weight control.
Busy, Busy, Busy When asked "How are you?" do you automatically respond "Busy?" Freelance author Michael Gates has thought about the epidemic of busy-ness that we seem to be embracing as a part of our culture, and we at Kudzu Monthly could not agree more fully with his conclusions.

The Moses of her People This famed
operator of the Underground Railroad was born as a slave
named Amarinta Ross. During the War Between the States,
she worked as a nurse, spy, and gun-runner. Who was
this woman? Read the article and find out!
Oldsmar If you've
never heard of Oldsmar, FL, the town that Ransom E. Olds
built, take heart - neither had many of Olds's descendants.
It never became the metropolis that Olds hoped for, but
the city survives to this day.
Ever wondered what rain looks like through a photo flash? I haven't, either, but I was lucky to get this one shot. Surprise! Raindrops are not raindrop-shaped! Hey, thanks for reading Kudzu Monthly. We hope that you enjoyed our offerings. We'd like to see you back next month, but before you go, look at this photo.  |
