Dean (Tim Rhodes) and Sarah Dean (Susie Schutt) made post-mortern appearances last year at "Dining With the Dearly Departed: An Evening of Living History at Quincy Cemetery." Some things, it seems, abide beyond the grave: Mr. Dean could not remember their wedding date, much to Mrs. Dean's displeasure. The grave occasion was a fundraiser for the Plumas county Museum and a successful one at that -- folks were dying to get in to the sold-out event.

Poet Laureate, 2004 - 06 I've always been fascinated by miniatures of all kinds, the little glass animals I played with as a boy, electric trains, dollhouses, and I think it's be- cause I can feel that I'm in complete control. Everything is right in its place, and I'm the one who put it there. Here's a poem by Kay Mullen, who lives in Washington, about the art of bonsai. Bonsai at the Potter's Stall Under fluorescent light, aligned on a bench and table top, oranges the size of marbles dangle from trees with glossy leaves. White trumpets bloom in tiny clay pots. Under a firethorn's twisted limbs, a three inch monk holds a cup from which he appears to drink the interior life. The potter prizes his bonsai children who will never grow up, never leave home. --Kay Mullen Poem copyright 2006 by Kay Mullen American Life in Poetry is made possible by The Poetry Foundation, publisher of Poetry magazine.
