A Poet's Alphabestiary, Etc.

“Moon-Seeking Soup”, a haibun, posted on “Jama’s Alphabet Soup” blog

My haibun, “Moon-Seeking Soup” from my chapbook Recycling Starlight, appears on Jama Rattigan’s blog, Jama’s Alphabet Soup, posted today, December 10th, to accompany the December 2011 full moon.

I am blessed and honored, both by Jama’s comments and by the responses of her readers, to whom I’ve replied both individually and in a post at the end (so far) of the comments.  And I encourage you all to try making the soup—it’s really good.

Poems to Honor the Earth—-a video with accompanying text

On Sunday, November 27th, I was invited to give the sermon at the Unitarian Church of the South Jersey Shore area. The church posted the video of my talk, “Poems to Honor the Earth,”  on YouTube

They also posted the video on their website. If you click on the link below, you’ll be taken to the “sermons” page. Then scroll down to find my presentation. And when you click on the title “Poems to Honor the Earth,” you will now also access a PDF of the accompanying text.

When presenting, I did adlib a little spontaneously here and there, but other than that, I followed the text in the video. So you can now view the video while referring to the text.  Here’s the link to sermons:
