It’s a great honor to have my poem read by the verbal sorceress Nic Sebastian. I have written good things about Whale Sounds and Ms. Sebastian on my blog. Personally, I think think she will become very well known and respected throughout the national and/or world poetry community in the english language–not just for the quality of her performance, but the quality of her poetry.
the honor’s all mine, Chris – thanks for letting me read your terrific poem!
this is fabulous in every sense of the word, at the same time, it speaks sure-footed truth
it does, doesn’t it? thanks as always for listening and commenting, Risa!
Brilliant poem and read to perfection!
Thank you!
