I empty my chest of the faraway

The first time I heard Villa-Lobos’s Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 was at a dance performance at Rutgers University in the late 1980s. A woman in a red velvet dress danced & tumbled through a large patch of grass laid out on stage.

Most recently, some of my little box poems were in Bluestem this month. I make these with small pharma, cosmetic, cough drop and light bulb boxes. With these, I like working with the idea of the interior landscape.
