Dana Gioia, who served as Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, did a marvelous job of bringing the arts to Americans, arguably the best job that anyone in that position has done. He was a fine poet before he took that job, and he is a fine poet after. Here’s an example of his recent work.
A vindictive widow, an embittered spouse and a spoiled brat don’t sound like fairy tale creatures, but in Tahoma’s upcoming production of the musical “Into the Woods,” these characters are brought to life.

Every night I wait as long as possible. I can’t usually make it past five; actually, I usually can’t make it much past dinner and we eat by 3:30-4 p.m. Sometimes I don’t even wait until the dishes are done before I change into my pajamas.

My husband left town for a couple days this last week. Every year he goes to a big swap meet in Portland. It’s miles and miles of car parts. I’ve never gone with him to this particular swap meet. And actually I’ve only been to one or two swap meets with him at all. Truthfully, I really couldn’t care less about car parts and he probably has a better time without me anyway. What guy wants a bored wife following him around asking if he’s done looking?
