Parrot in Winter

April 29th 2009 in News

 

Click here to read my poem “Parrot in Winter” that came out today in The Other Journal. There’s also an audio link, so you can hear me read the poem. That infamous bird, Coco McQuerry, and a long spate of gray in February inspired the poem. I really do have a trunk of dress-up clothes and I’m expecting an occasion to don that frock coat and my dancing shoes.

The Other Journal describes itself as a journal at the “intersection of theology and culture.” Articles in the Aesthetics issue that caught my eye include: Altars to Unknown Gods: A Christian Approach to Contemporary Art :: Daniel A. Siedell , My Body for You: Meditations on Sacrifice as a Theme in Contemporary Art :: Bruce Herman and a review of Paul Mariani’s latest Sea Billows Rolling: A Review of Paul Mariani’s Deaths & Transfigurations .

 

Happy Reading!
