July 17th was the opening of a show I shared with my sister, Jennifer McCurdy, at the Featherstone Center for the Arts on Martha’s Vineyard. Here is a video of my poetry reading:

Open Mic at the Bai Pai Lounge
I’ve been going to these wonderful, intimate poetry open mics at the Bai Pai lounge and reading from my books. Here’s a video of my second appearance, where I read poems from my book Cuddle your Curmudgeons — domestic storms and sunbreaks.
Myrella’s Interpretation
In this video, from my March 9 poetry event, Myrella moves to my poem Taproot, Read by Love Rising, to the song Chilled Cream by Blank and Jones.
Taproot
The roots of your connection
go down deep —
Like comfrey, they reach into the subsoil,
pulling up the minerals
that rise from ancient bedrock.
Whatever artifice has been applied,
whatever degradation of the soil,
you are equipped
to tap the primal nutrient
and bring it back
into the cycle of life.
Don’t ever think that you can be defeated —
Like comfrey, if they chop you,
you will come back stronger,
by virtue of your simple insistence
on the right of life to thrive,
and of each living thing to manifest
just what it is —
not made for any purpose other than its own
and its essential link to everything.

Last Sunday I did a poetry presentation, with the help of some friends.
