Poetry Magazine Feature

The Spring issue of PoetryMagazine.com features five new poems of mine. They're in excellent company. Fady Joudah, a Palestinian poet of some note, Penelope Schott and other accomplished writers each have pages with fantastic work. Mary Barnett, editor, did an excellent job in honor of National Poetry Month. Over the weekend at Green Gulch Meditation Center I connected with poetry lovers Nancy Hollis and D'arcy Reynolds. D'arcy is a composer who has put Chana Bloch's poetry to music and Nancy is a chiropractor with a deep love of the craft. After so many occasions where I feel like the odd person out it was a pleasant and affirming surprise. April is National Poetry Month, so go out and enjoy poetry. Take an evening to go to a reading (Gallery Cafe next Monday night in San Francisco; Billy Collins at Herbst Theater perhaps), buy a book of poetry, or read a poem on-line. As I say, 95% of poetry might not float your boat, but 5% will rock your world. So keep a lookout!
