This weekend has proven to be a swirl of poetic energy. On Friday, my latest poem was published on Terrence Moss Presents. It was a spontaneous session that bore the work titled "Bird". Please visit the link below and enjoy:

In turn, I got a message from the bassist of BRANDY REPAIRS UTAH. He had read my poem and it inspired him to revisit the mixing of the original recordings of B.R.U. Throughout the day, I've been receiving emails from him with the mixes. Truly subversive and spontaneous windings of bass, rhythm & poetry:

As well, I was lucky enough to live near a theater screening the latest film about The Doors. It doesn't take much to entertain me when it comes to Morrison and the boys. If you're a fan at all, keep your eyes out for this film. It was nice to see some footage I haven't seen and to revisit the 54-month long career of this band that changed the landscape of rock and roll:
