RZ sent me over here, and I'm glad he did. Wonderful poem and reading. He's such a good reader, isn't he? Love his pseudonym. Roger Ebert thinks he knows who he is and his voice is "recognizable."
Welcome here, Teresa. I have left a comment or two on your site in the past, courtesy of our mutual friend RZ. SpokenVerse is a great reader to my mind. Check out Adrian Mitchell reading his own poem 'To Whom It May Concern' on the toob. Look out for Alan Ginsberg in the audience. :)
I'm glad you followed it up, Teresa. Irrespective of the 46 year time-lapse, you could substitute Iraq or Afghanistan for 'Vietnam' and the lies are the same lies.
We will be told when it is time to know.
ReplyDeleteSome seek truth, while others hide in ignorance.
I want to know, that is why I am here.

ReplyDeleteThe best poems are timeless.

ReplyDeleteJust watched Adrian Mitchell. Wow. Thanks for that. Hard to imagine it was forty-six years ago.

ReplyDeleteExactly so. That's what makes it so powerful yet today.
