Windy Day: Poetry

Insane winds today, I can’t recall a time when the weather was the same more than a couple of days in a row. None of this seems to bother Red, who keeps a steady eye on things, through rain, wind, ice and snow.

Tonight something new for me, a poetry reading. I’ve chosen two poems about spring and one or two Divine Old Dog poems. I am not comfortable reading poetry much, I’ve never done it, but I amĀ  never uncomfortable at readings. I always feel it’s my destiny to stand up in front of crowds and read my work. We’ll see how tonight goes, the reading starts at 7 p.m., at the Round House Cafe in Cambridge.

I am thinking of collecting some of my poems into an e-book form along with some photographs. I’ll publish them myself, with my agent, Christopher Schelling. I am hoping to go to New York City next week to meet my friend George Forss there, he wants to go to New York to visit some friends and he also wants to go and photograph the carriage horses with me. I’d love that, trying to figure out if I can justify going to New York purely for fun. It is an expensive place to visit.
