here‘s a new one from the good folks over at north american anglican, on one of my first ventures back out into the wild (that is, public events) after refraining for a long while due to the pandemic.
i had had tickets for this performance when the pandemic started, and it got delayed for two whole years. worth the wait.
many thanks to paddler press for giving a home to my self-evidently titled poem on the free organ concerts held at st. hedwig’s church here in the east village before covid hit, “on free east village organ concerts in september.”
you can read it here (on p 32), there’s audio of me reading it just below, and do have a read thru of the rest of the issue too!
