It was an unexpected and lovely surprise to be recognized by the Alabama State Poetry Society.

Thank you, my friend and fellow Kevorkian.

Did you see there's a Sun Ra send-off at East Village on May 29th?

I'm planning to be there to jam and read The King of Cats.

Wonderful! Puts me in mind of William Carlos Williams somehow. So vibrant.

I love how simple and elegant that William Carlos Williams' poem is!

Thank you so much, Ellen!
