to allow this april to be a cruel month. because for me it's a triumph. my first book was publishd 50 years ago this month.
Into the Sea was publishd by Abraxas Press in an edition of 200 copies. I don't know how many survive but several are in important library collections.
I never expectd to live as long as I have. & so many of my contemporaries are dead. so this is quite the milestone. most of my peers have workd the poetry fields for decades without much notice. but something is happening for me this month that's quite frankly a thrill.
on wed 24 april Marconi Gallery in Palm Springs will celebrate me from 5-8 pm. there will be a give-away of some of my out of print books. & at 6 I'll read a sampling of my work. then I'll unveil a portrait of me by Marconi Calindas.
most seeing this are too far away to join me but I'll be reading to you nonetheless. a half century of books is something.
