My latest blog at the Travel Oregon site is "Just Dune It"--hokey, but effective, and anyway I got it from a business near Florence, Oregon that rents ORV's.

The Warning Against Cider Press!

This is a crucial read for poets in an age of contest-dominated publication: http://staceylynnbrown.blogspot.com/2008/07/less-than-auspicious-debut.html

Profile of Paulann Petersen in "The Bee"

For the month of September (and until I get another pdf for the nmew website) you can see my profile of Portland poet Paulann Petersen at http://www.readthebee.com/morenews.html.

The New Website, Finally

At last, after securing the domain and futzing with the domain mapping, http://www.seanpatrickhill.com/ is fully operational.

As a professional website, you can download pdf's of my Oregonian and Bee stories, as well as links to travel articles and poems, poems, poems!

Consider it a calling card.
