Mission: Each day you’ll receive a poem I just wrote or a video reading of a recent poem of mine. I hope you’ll enjoy the variety.
The March Arts Marathon is the backbone of CVRAN fundraising. Sponsors like you will be assisting with housing, living expenses, and legal fees for asylum seeker and Afghan refugee families as they come to Central Vermont.
The March Arts Marathon is a community effort. For six days each week in March poets, writers, painters, photographers, fabric artists, collage and multimedia artists will each send a copy of their daily work to friends and family. And friends and family will donate to support this work. Together we will be helping to welcome new Americans, who in turn will add immeasurably to our own communities.
Sample Sef Poem:
Back in Real Time
I grew up when reality
still happened just once, but
even in the 50’s, as I read Gone
With the Wind or poured over
my copy of Seventeen, I was wary.
Some ways to move and speak
were thought off, others deemed
cool. A man holding a camera or
a woman making a family album
might create a lasting Judgment..
Image management evolved as decades
rolled by and FaceBook bloomed. We
became experts at email, texts and
videos, then curated the Echoes &
After-Images of our Saying & Doing.
On the coasts, huge memory vaults
holding Terra Bytes of our life stories
were built. We acted, became our own
agents, shared trailers of our exploits
as well as endless videos of our cats.
And yes, our cyber poems zipped
about the internet until a power outage
occurred, a local group gathered,
unfolded their hand-held paper devices,
and read aloud.
