Dance Portrait

I met my dance portrait in an art gallery. What a humbling, delightful encounter! The photographer is Jeff Malet, and his art exhibit “Fiesta Asia through the eyes of Jeff Malet” is on display at The Ven Embassy Row, Washington, DC. 

Coincidentally, I’ll be on stage again Dancing to Ancient Rhythms for Fiesta Asia 2024, June 1. All performances are outdoors near the Capitol, free to the public. Enjoy the arts… here, there, wherever you are. 

Cheers,

May Means Manhattan Reading

The annual Kelsay Books poetry reading is happening at The Parkside Lounge on May 18. When you hear a poem in the voice of the poet, it takes on a certain magic. There's the difference between how the words live on the page, and how they move into the air, in an acoustic space. 

If you're in the area, stop by! Each Kelsay book author reads two poems in a lovely rotation of voice and approach. 

 

Last year I chose the first and the last poem of Muse in a Suitcase. It may be time to turn to the middle.

 

Cheers,
