Upstairs at Duroc Poetry Reading tonight
Thursday 10th March at 19h30 at The American Library in Paris
To celebrate Le Printemps des Poètes, France’s Poetry Month, four English-language poets will be reading from their work. In the spirit of this year’s theme, “d’infinis paysages,” each reader will offer ways in which the “Infinite Landscapes” of oceans and islands, of seashores, deserts, mountains, fields and city streets are transformed into the landscaped infinities of poetry. The program is brought to you by Upstairs at Duroc, the Paris-based literary journal.

I admire
like Michelangelo
who make it
to old age
despite
the struggle.
It seems
so easy
to fall off the edge
where the job
of its nature
will have
you work
that those who don't
are paradise
to me,
a safe
soft
place
like you
in
bed
forever.
Those who stop
or whose
lives
are punctured
by
silence
I avoid
and the shimmering
early promise
come
to nought
turn
against
like tribes
do albinos.

Religion
a so-called
martyr dies
religion dies
a little
with him
each fool
with a bomb
in a bus
or plane
drives
hundreds
of good men
from God.
