50 calls for journalism/writing pitches (January 30, 2023)
When I run, I rarely think about running. The mind flies, thought to thought, memory to memory, fantasy to fantasy. The chack, chack, chack, chack of the feet on dirt, then leaf, then twig, then road, provides a metronome for that internal world, and often I forget I’m running at all, my legs dissolve, all that’s left is eye and ear and mind, and I float across the world, through the woods, over the trail and into myself. It ain’t always pretty. The tour guide is not always a poet (unlike WH Auden’s commentary on the fantastic short film about Bruce Kidd), but he is honest. And when it’s done, and the legs are burning and the sweat chilling, I embrace the endorphin-powered new man that I am, and only wish he’d stay a little longer this time.
This week’s calls for pitches below.
