My Recorded Poetry Series continues with,”Travertine”, the fourth of five poems originally published in The Writing Disorder.

I am a writer, going blind in Los Angeles. This blog is my story of a slow approach to darkness as I traverse through the rubble of urban life. It is what I see in the withering spaces of my remaining vision. It is humor and despair and darkness and light. It is what I witness as the world slowly disappears.

I am at a dinner where I can’t hear you. I just sneaked some peaks on WP and saw you. So I am just saying hi. Oh, and kisses!

I agree with Steve! You paint such a powerful picture of the subject and it slices the heart. It always so interesting to me to listen without the ability to read the words or see your face as you read. It’s such a different experience!

Thank you so much, Angela. I am going to do a couple readings for the book, so I hope you will be able to tune in. It would be interesting to hear your response in comparison to the recorded series. This will be my first reading. I will be posting details today or tomorrow.
