Just listening to this tonight! Fun to listen, and envision you, and all of you pixelated wonders, there at Circe’s at New Brighton! Great fun with the piratical talk, matey! Loving the poetry and the music, and hearing you read, imagining the images you shared with the poems. Especially moved by “The Un-creation;” I do not recall reading that one before. Love the poem of hope inspired by Silas Merlin’s drawing. And, love the ebb and flow of your rhythm, rhyme, and re-markings. Glad you recorded this, Karima! xoxoxo

Aww Luna, sorry I guess I didn’t press return because I answered this the next day…So Sorry..Thank you so much for listening to the whole reading! It really means a lot to me. The Uncreation is an evolving poem..This version, included “Whole cities burning down to the ground” after the cataclysmic Camp Fire that totally destroyed Paradise. Thank you for your comment on Hope Is Found too. I can see the story inside that Silas saw when he painted it, The End of Hope, but I guess I just chose to see it differently, which is the really wonderful thing about Art..how 100 people will see 100 different stories. It unites us and also points out our unique perspectives:) Big Hugs Luna! Sorry for this late reply…
