What Sparks Poetry: Rocío Cerón (Mexico City) on Ecopoetry Now "Language and nature are an ancient binomial that has reinforced the physicality between the world we inhabit and how we inhabit naming it. The power of the bird is not only its chirp and trill, but the richness of its name which alters our lips in pronouncing it: albatross, kestrel, blackbird, screech owl, flycatcher, vireo, thrush, golden tanager." |

"Frank O’Hara’s Last Night" "Sitting at a big wooden table at Ken Ruzicka’s home on a cold November morning in Fire Island Pines, the 79-year-old artist and landscape designer is telling me how he acquired the table....Ruzicka is a natural storyteller, but he knows why I’m here. In art and literary lore, he’s known for being the driver that hit poet Frank O’Hara near Crown Walk by the Pines on July 24, 1966." via VANITY FAIR |
