Thanks so much for this. I was just looking at some old family photos a few days ago.

Hello! Every night my family reads two poems at bedtime. Twice a week we do "poems on phone." We discovered your channel because we were looking for a reading of "Franz Marc's Blue Horses." Anywho, my daughters are taking you up on your request. They're wondering if you could do "Swan," by Mary Oliver, as well as "The Vixen," by W.S. Merwin. Thank you! 🙂

Edward Carpenter wrote seminal works on civilization if you ask me: Civilization - it's cause and cure: there is something so important in that work - a few things actually. His 'Art of Creation' is a natural, organic Hegelian like perspective, only written from the perspective of nature, with her rich and colourful and alive language, rather then the concept, the mind, which made Hegel dry and to most of us incomprehensible. You have to find where he was born - number 45 Brunswick Square, Brighton. It's an absolutely beautiful square with beautiful architecture and a park in the middle opposite the sea, not excessively grand apartments but somehow Brighton and the cheer and beauty around the place really reminds you of Edward Carpenters character and characteristic freedom. I am half certain I was Carpenter in a previous life because I saw his first works in a fortuitious, timely and synchronistic way, I then saw his blue plaque on number 45 Brunswick Square by pure chance, as I lived about 1 minute around the corner, and then when I read other works I realized we saw almost everything in exactly the same way, and I had never really encountered anyone else who did. Probably I am a more insane appearing version of him, because a sane person could only get more and more insane seeming in an increasingly insane world. Actually I don't really accept the theory of reincarnation, but I do believe there is some connection with his mind beyond words. There's no doubt for me. It would be all the more extraordinary if it wasn't true. Then I would eat my hat.

Just discovered you tonight Brandy while KZbining for Dorothy’s poems. I crushed on her way back at the Darwin Writers Festival in 2008. I adored her work, her and Lily Brett two of my favourite Australian poets. Dot as she asked me to call her told me if I wanted to understand her, to get to know her than I must read Akhenaten. Weeks later Dot posted to me one copy including Akhenaten of her published books. The woman was 5”1, I’m 5”10 she was a sun in my universe. So happy to hear your readings. Didn’t realise when I met her she had been fighting breast cancer, some nine weeks later she died. 😕📖🌏 But what a gift she left from her heart, poetry. ❤

thank you so much for reading my book. The Catoblepas captured my imagination many many years ago. i discovered this creature in a Middle Ages bestiary, written in latin, than happened to be in my hands. t stays there, in my imagination, dormant for years... then when i started writing this book, it popped out with a smile :)
