Description

I meant to get this book ready as a New Year's gift, but failed. Which, as you will see if you read the right parts, is positive.There's poetry in here, but also prose, since I find books of pure poetry daunting. All this stuff is from my journal over the last two years. A lot of it is from dreams. As for the title, "Fish Scribbles," it comes from my childhood nickname, "Fish." It was my little brother Johnny who gave me that name. He was called "Hoss" at school, and is now a full grown human who plays jazz trumpet and was once a real Mayor. He first started calling me "Trout," (for its alliterative resonance with my given name, Trudi, which I found terribly clunky and unromantic), and "Trout" evolved into "Fish." I didn't mind.My parents didn't call me Fish, of course. My father didn't seem to care one way or another about it. His given name was "Cedric William" but my mother dubbed him "Ricky" upon first meeting him in the Methodist church choir, and after that even his children and everyone else but his mother and sister called him "Ricky." With my mother my nickname was another matter. Her given name was Mary Helen, but her children called her "Mod." We began doing this as a convenient replacement for the embarrassing term "Mommy" when one of Johnny's friends, Ray, said upon meeting her, "Good morning Mrs. Richards, and may I call you Maude?" Which then devolved into "Mod." Being concerned for my welfare, Mod used my nickname to save me from ridicule. For at that time, when I was around 13, I had developed the habit of opening my mouth abruptly and very wide every so often to clear my ears, which tended to get plugged up. Mod told me that if I didn't break that habit, the kids at school would start calling me "Fish" too. So I stopped. The name "Fish," however, stuck around until we all meandered off into adulthood. Then it was more or less forgotten for over four decades.Now, however, as I approach my second childhood, I've been remembering that name, and I rather like it. "Fish Richards" has a nice ring to it, and "Fish Scribbles" came out of that.
