As lit lovers, our conversation trying to find the right word to describe Joseph\\u2019s training experience led to some hammer banter about \\xa0Game of Thrones character,\\xa0Gendry, before starting our editorial meeting with George McDermott\\u2019s work.\\nGeorge McDermott has been exploring the Merry-Go-Round Effect. Many years ago, he left high school English teaching to become a speechwriter and screenwriter. Some years later, as a sort of penance, he became a teacher again. Most recently, he\\u2019s co-authored a book with a woman who was a student in one of his eleventh-grade English classes. He\\u2019s hoping that traveling in circles can add up to progress. \\xa0See more \\xa0@\\xa0www.gorge-mcdermott.com;\\xa0www.facebook.com/WhatWentRight\\xa0and Twitter: @McDwrite\\nWe really enjoyed reading George McDermott\\u2019s \\u201cFrames Per Second.\\u201d Tim Fitts enjoyed it so much, in fact, that he is tempted to steal some of the lines. Then, speaking of plagiarism, Jason mentioned a recent\\xa0plagiarism scandal\\xa0involving a former Canadian Poet Laureate taking work from\\xa0Maya Angelou\\xa0and\\xa0Tupac Shakur! Naturally, then, Marion transitioned us to talking about\\xa0Cinema Paradiso\\u2019s25th anniversary, and talks of obsoleted technologies led us to our vote! Listen in to hear the results before we moved on to Gabrielle Tribou\\u2019s \\u201cThe Loneliness of Mothers.\\u201d\\n\\xa0\\n\\nGabrielle Tribou\\n\\nGabrielle Tribou currently lives in Hue, Vietnam. When she\\u2019s not working, she splits her time between the different cafes in her neighborhood, visiting an average of three per day. She\\u2019s a fan of vegetables and public green spaces. \\xa0\\n\\u201cThe Loneliness of Mothers\\u201d got us into deep discussion about the role of mothers and parenting. After two poems dealing with various family matters, we shared stories about our parents, and Kathleen and Sharee bonded over a friendly parenting tip for all to enjoy: Take your kids to\\xa0The Home Depot! Tim reminded us not to forget to get some Honeycrisp apples while they\\u2019re in season, and Jason shared a list of good reads for you to look into. Tune in to hear all about it.\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nPresent at the Editorial Table:\\nKathleen Volk Miller\\nTim Fitts\\nSharee DeVose\\nJason Schneiderman\\nMarion Wrenn\\nJoseph Kindt\\n\\xa0\\nProduction Engineer:\\nJoe Zang\\n---------------------------\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nGeorge McDermott\\nFrames Per Second\\n\\xa0\\nSorting old photos and cans of home movies \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\nshe comes across a yellowing shot\\nof a laughing girl her younger daughter\\nthe one who moved to Arizona\\nor who knows where \\u2019cause truth be told \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\nthey haven\\u2019t talked in a very long time\\n\\xa0\\nAbout ten in the picture probably ten \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\nwhen they sang together every day\\nbefore the eyes the defiant shoulders\\nthe silent years when it seemed they met\\nonly on stairways passed only\\nin doorways and the cameras\\nwere pretty much packed away\\n\\xa0\\nShe puts the photo back safe in its folder\\nopens a can and threads the projector\\nand the reel of film flickers to life\\nratcheting through from moment to moment\\nenough pictures to create the illusion of motion\\nenough motion to create the illusion of progress\\nplaypens and sandboxes bicycles and then\\n\\xa0\\nthe interstitial flash of white\\njust six or eight light-struck frames\\ndividing what came before\\nfrom what will follow\\n\\xa0\\nGabrielle Tribou\\nThe Loneliness of Mothers\\n\\xa0\\nis louder than any afterschool clamor.\\nThe mother hears it\\nin early fall.
