Sound poetry from the past

(Pekingese Mountain, Eggs Internacionale, Thin Life, Integers, Lip Service,…… Continue reading Sound poetry from the past

Keeping up…featured on moving poems.com

In this latest cinepoem, “Translating Myself”, I apply…… Continue reading New cinepoem • Translating Myself
