The Magician

The Magician from Kate Greenstreet on Vimeo . Didn't remember this was on-line until a friend posted it to my timeline on Facebook today. Kate and Max Greenstreet and I had a special time that day talking about our fathers and the things they taught us. I think this must have been 2010. I recommend all the other Kicking Wind videos and poem videos.

Winter Updates

Just want to update everyone on the dates for the readings for The Soluble Hour. I promised Rusty at Omnidawn that I would take this book around and share it with everyone, but it is really important that if anyone out there wants to come help remember Hillary and read poems with us at these readings, to please get in touch with me. Would be wonderful for her friends to be gathered together as much as possible. *  May 16th in Chicago, Michael Robins, who has been a lovely champion of Hillary's poems and some of his fellow Chicagoan poets Ruben Quesada, Jennifer Scappettone, Valerie Wallace and I will be reading Hillary's poems at City Lit Books.
