A WALK IN MY LIBRARY:
3 LOVE POEMS IN THE SUMMER

PART I

It has been a piping heat wave in Paris this summer of Covid- 19. Went out for lunch across town on a terrace yesterday, first time in months with a friend. Also a dinner party one night, sitting at a restaurant counter. Things I never gave a second thought, exotic and fresh again. Like waking from a long sleep realizing Paris is outside my door. Empty, quiet, hot, resplendent even without tourists and Parisians who are away.

I prefer travel right now through books and correspondence – three emails with poetry jumping from the page to share with you, love poems – but not only – by three friends.

PART II

An introduction to the three poets whose works I shared yesterday: Cynthia Kraman, Richard Milazzo and Ishmael Annobil.
