"Art on Cullers Run" 2025 is right around the corner!
I will be in the poetry tent July 4th & 5th to greet you, meet you, create a new community poem, and share my work. The locale is lovely, the artists are talented, the mood is festive. Art uplifts.
the little things, mon amour
It’s an inside joke how you say “armoire”
for “chaise”—
how you speak for the arm of a seat
like anatomy well-illustrated
in medical books you fetch
from foreign antique shops,
a habit that’s getting costly,
maybe out of hand,
but we own the armoire
as well as the chaise—
which is often an auto
corrected form of my name.
~CMH
This poem is in response to a prompt concerning mistakes and typos from "Next Line, Please" of The American Scholar.

So delighted to be the featured poet for this episode of The WildStory podcast! My interview with Ann Wallace, who is also a poet, was a spontaneous conversation about themes and meanings of Inheritance of Flowers. Four poems from this new book are recited.
Have a listen here (poetry segment is the first thirty minutes):
On this last day of National Poetry Month, here is a glimpse of dancer-poet as performing artist. I had the pleasure of joining the cast of "The Power and the Voice of Women in Dance through the Millennia" on April 19th, directed by Karen McLane. There was narrative, and dances that women dance to heal, to celebrate, to speak in a language based on the female body and psyche.

I raise a glass to all the other dancer-poets who are speaking, speaking...
And, poof! This typewriter is worn out.
