Man--that is out of this world. I am currently finishing up writing a story about the Space Age and, man oh man, your post hit the inbox in just right moments! Bravo!

I love the "ambulance of books" line. I read this while I was listening to "The Last Iceberg on Earth," and the whole thing, the music, the sparse, breathless lines, and the painting flowed together fantastically into an amazing experience to start my morning. Thank you!

Ned, your poems are precious and divine. This one devastating in its way. But absolute. I admire your strength and gifts, both gentle and profound. Thanks for starting my day this way. Honesty about our state makes the only sense. Constance
