End of the Line

Google has inexplicably altered the procedures for editing and updating posts and pages such that I am unable to do so without learning some kind of secret code, so I am regretfully abandoning this blog. If I get another one started on another platform, I'll post the link here.

Poetry Show by Kevin Pittman

My friend Kevin Pittman has a unique presentation of new poems coming up, if you happen to be on the Rock - or want to make a special trip.  Ocean View Art Gallery is located on Water St., Carbonear, next to the cenotaph and across from the post office.

If you are unable to be there for the opening, the show will continue until September 3. Following the opening, interested persons can access online a conventional book version of Essential Tremors: Poems at lulu.com. Lulu delivers.
