Tan-Ku reading at The Art House in Monrovia on July 11, 2023

On July 11, 2023, the excellent painter Ms. Susan Dobey, whom I have known for a long time, invited me to her art gallery and gave a tanka reading performance for those who rarely have a chance to listen to tanka poetry. I was very happy to have the opportunity to perform Tan-Ku's reading from DISTANCE, which I co-authored with Ms. Deborah P. Kolodji. For background music, Mr. Rick Wilson played an old Native American vertical flute in addition to my percussion. |

From Tan-Ku Collection, " DISTANCE" In the Wind wild dogs can smell our wildness the traces of us in ruined cities a mockingbird learns a new song refugees it might be raining ashes across the sea across the border settled in time wings of planes wings of birds no doves waiting for a twig of olive shining green forgogtten ark new skies condors return from near-extinction |
