Poetry reading Friday March 22nd

I will be reading my poetry along with two other fantastic poets, Pansy Maurer-Alvarez and Kerry Featherstone as part of the Printemps des Poètes.  The reading will take place on Friday 22nd March at 20:30 at Le Bal (6 Impasse de la Défense, 75018 Paris).  More details including biographies of the three readers can be found here: http://poets-live.com/

she warms
her fingers on the bowl

and the steam
from the soup
warms her face as well

"Throughout my life, especially as I have grown older and perhaps saner than I was, I have become more and more convinced that the one good enterprise we are all charged with, the one really vital adventure that living offers us, is to learn to unpick the fabric of the false worldview we have been given and so to become wilder and more true to ourselves and to the world as it really is, and not as our parents and teachers and self-appointed leaders would have it seem.  To become ungovernable, as it were."

and flavorless food

cauliflower

Looking at the still life I am not looking at the still life
