And she doesn't do the same reading every night. I toured with her when she was promoting her last book; she continually writes & evolves. And she doesn’t do the same reading every night.

Cleveland, forever haunted by the poetic genius and martyrdom of d.a. levy (1942-1968):

i thought they were
wind chimes
in the streets at night

with my young eyes
i looked to the east
and the distant ringing
of ghost ponies
rose from the ground

Ponies Ponies Ponies

(the young horse becomes
a funny sounding
word)

i looked to the east
seeking buddhas to
justify those bells
weeping in the darkness

The Underground Horses
are rising

Cherokee, Delaware, Huron
we will return your land to you

the young horses
will return your land to you

to purify the land
with their tears

The Underground Horses
are rising
to tell their fathers

“in the streets at night
the bells of Cherokee ponies
are weeping.”

Rather introverted in the most extro manner I've ever seen.

She read too shyly and quietly and it was heard to hear her. I have a copy of her book Case Sensitive though and I really like it. Looking forward to getting her new book soon.

I wonder if she's writing new poems as she drives from place to place. Because who could stand to hear themselves read the same poem fifty nights in a row?! I'd totally start heckling myself around day five. That’s massive all right. I wonder if she’s writing new poems as she drives from place to place.
