4.1.20

Up 7:30.
Started Barbara Herrnstein Smith, Poetic Closure.
Watched Colbert.
Coffee, breakfast. Exercised (2nd week; up 1 rung).
Form notes 8 songs - quit a little early so I wouldn’t start writing late.
Walk. Being more careful about a couple things (doorknobs, not touching anything when I come back). 
Worked 11-1. Sent graf. Next one might be harder to complete, would like to try to work another hr or so later.
Necessary business call.
Read Smith 2-4. Quick late lunch.
Started Anna Moskovachis’ novel Elanor, or the Rejection of the Progress of Love.
Therapy.
2nd walk. Dropped tax returns in mail (through slot w/o touching - guess I could have had mailman pick them up outside, but this seemed safe enough).
News that Christina Monet (Ze Records/“Is That All There Is?”; 61) and Adam Schlessinger (Fountains of Wayne, “That Thing You Do”; 52) are dead from COVID-19. Hard.
Ordered delivery with Bree - Thai place, 2 blocks away. Worked out fine, seemed safe, kind of a relief.
Between order and delivery, made 2 min. poetry reading video for Rob McClennan; read the untitled villanelle and “Lub-Dup” (both unpublished). Sent it later.
2 LEAR poems.
Read to p. 50 in Elanor.
Stayed up for a while, cleaning up my desk and a few things online. Notes on the 2 songs I skipped this morning, posted March reading list.
Lights out 12:30
