Frozen Socks and Eliot
The frozen socks have been a big hit with Red and Duffy. They chew on the knotted socks until the socks thaw, and then they play tug-of-war with them. This morning they ran in circles through the kitchen, living room, and dining room, and now they’ve gone to their separate corners to chew on fresh, [...]

An Office with a View
My office looks out onto rat’s alley. Yes, I’m alluding to The Waste Land, but there really are rats down there. They must like the vat of discarded fast-food grease next to the parking deck. But there’s a view, with natural light. And the air conditioning works. A huge improvement on last year’s basement office.

Dali and Poetry
I visited the Dalí exhibit again, this time with a poet friend who hosts the radio show melodically challenged on WRAS. Her program broadcasts on Sundays from 2:00-4:00 in the afternoon, and features poets reading their own works, along with music that enhances the show’s theme. One of the more recent playlists highlighted poems about [...]

Red Comes to Our House
The boys said he was six months old, but I’m not so sure. He chews on anything made of plastic, rubber, paper, or wood. One night he started chewing my toes under the blanket, not understanding the lumps were a part of me!

From Bowling Green to Barcelona and Seoul to Norwich

That is so cool. It is the perfect accompaniment to the poem, you’re so good at this stuff…….
So very nice. I am inspired to make my own video poem. Thanks.
Brilliant.
I’m off to shout it out to the group.
Waving at you from New York.
May the best of dreams always run with you!
The sumac, the dark water, the sound of feet against tar, the word joy (I like to think it’s the feeling). You are so clever.
This is absolutely the coolest thing EVER! I loved both the poem and the video that brought it to life!
once again your reading blows me away…
we have such dissimilar writing style that i am often guilty of not getting it,,, but when i hear you read it to me,, it makes me understand that it is indeed your truth,, and not just crafted words….
Again, a great achievement.
I don’t think I could “voice” a poem as flawlessly.
Oh, VERY cool! Wonderful to hear you reading. This is just lovely.
Wonderful..

I loved especially the word “pad” and the whole j-o-y sequence.
It is amazing how “pad” got to me. That one animal word. Three little letters. The perfect word. Damn.
I am touched by your remarkable talent. Once again.
xxoo
“Flaming tips of sumac lips.” Yes! I’ll never forget that line. Dangit, I hate being away, because I miss your awesome work. But it’s great to be here again. You are a wonderful reader, Christine. And a wonderful poet!
