Another 'agree'!
My new book, Fugitive Pigments, is mostly poems about art. So I love that this reading will be in an art gallery. Hope you can come. It's not as far away as you think.
Cheers,

A POEM
What Is Left to Show That I Was Here?
Remember me in the Ultramarine
of an empty bed, find me
in the Cardinal Purple
of a canceled stamp, the Marking Blue
of builders, handsaws, teachers. Viridian
of rooms webbed with birds.
I will be in the Cadmium Red
of random apples, in the Burnt
Umber basket of a shadow. Vermilion
will account for a puncture
in the skin of loneliness.
Look for me in the Aurelian pollen
of Cerulean lilacs, in the ache
of Mars Violet. Bone Black crows
on branches, Alizarin Crimson to weep
and soak my shirt.
