"If you remember on waking that you have dreamed about things at a great distance, it is because your eyes have actually been there while you were asleep." Copper Inuit
"When somebody dies, when you hear thunder way over there -- so that you just hardly hear it -- that means that the white cloud is taking him to another world. They travel for many days, and then sometimes on the fourth day it rains. when that rain drops on you, they are touching you." Philip Cassadore, Apache
three days road
before I will walk
the three days road
just once for all time
I would like to know
sound of a fingertips’ giggle
to tingle other skin
feel of loud bloodrush chant
the flush from outside in
see a dawn light through my
own muscle and bone
and leave night as one
before I start dying alone
just once for all time
I would love
to know
before I walk the three days road

You missed this? Don't worry- there's always next summer!
Come to the NJ Reperatory's Lumia Theater July 30 for the final night of the series!
I'll be reading during the open mic . . .

Newspaper article quoted from The Independent online "Long Branch poetry series makes great summer readings
The Summer Poetry Series will conclude on Wednesday, July 30, with two very different poets, each representing a distinct era, stylistic school and localized scene. Bronx-born and Brooklyn-based Lewis Warsh is a dynamic ambassador of the second-generation "New York School." The prolific poet, novelist, memoirist, editor and publisher (noted for his founding of Angel Hair magazine and books with Anne Waldman) will appear live in Long Branch.
The veteran writer and educator will be joined for this occasion by a fresh new radical lesbian voice from San Diego, Ali Liebegott. The author of the acclaimed book-length poem "The Beautifully Worthless," as well as the novel "The IHOP Papers," Liebegott writes with detail-intensive humor and keenly observed emotion of an America where runaway waitresses crisscross the continent on quests for companionship, closure and crush fulfillment. A public-invited, open-mic session will also round out the program, which will begin at 7 p.m.
. . . All events will be presented in New Jersey Repertory's Lumia Theatre, located at 179 Broadway in Long Branch. Admission is $5; seating is limited, and reservations, which are recommended, can be made by calling 732-229-3166.
The poetry series is sponsored by the Long Branch Arts Council, the city of Long Branch and the Long Branch Historical Association, and produced by New Jersey Repertory director Gabor Barabas and City Councilman Brian Unger. "
