Thanks to Diane Lockward I now have my very own pied-a-terre on youtube! Diane Lockward, as many of you know, is a poet with a brand new book, Temptation by Water which has just been published. She is also one of my internet wizards, learning new technologies and sharing her expertise with me --- I'm the last kid on the block to get a computer, a cell phone ... you get the --- paper-based --- picture.
And yes, you do hear a cat crying in the background. That's Sarajevo. I think she hates everything I write, but she might also just want to sing along. It's hard to know.
Happy Independence Day -- May you be independent of fear and false prophets. And, yes, have a few good things to eat.
I've been enjoying reading your collection. It's great to hear you read of the poems. Thank you. And Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteI love this poem Susan. Its rhythm and sound are alluring the words themselves romantic.
ReplyDeleteI love the name Sarajevo by the way, and I tend to think she's approving of this one. :)
Maureen and Micheal, You've made my 4th! Thank you so much. Unfortunately, I think Sarajevo is really complaining that I spend too much time writing poetry and not all my time paying attention to her. When I am working on a poem and want to read it aloud, I need to whisper it or she comes running in and requests (loudly) that I stop. Maybe she wants to join in, but I have my doubts ...
