The song/paintings performed at KHN in December are programmed on a new
music concert Feb 22 at the Creative Arts Center, WV University. There will be
a second new music concert later this spring, no date yet, on which I expect
to present other new music/paintings, currently in progress. I'm also
working on settings of three of Denise's poems, which will be
music/paintings, with her poems inscribed on them. There are three
poems, and five music/paintings (one of the haiku I'm dividing up among three
music/paintings because each section of the poem warrants a specific
treatment). I think Denise's plan is to use the three music/paintings which set
the one haiku, and produce a hand-made book in an edition of 5 or maybe 10.
When I'm finished with my part, I will email the images to Denise, and she will
design something very beautiful and pleasing in book form. I also have an
exhibit scheduled for two weeks at the

For the last few

manuscript, titled In the Human Zoo , and I've been sending it around
to publishers. No word yet from them, but I'll keep you posted if I hear any
good news. In the meantime, I've started work on a new series of poems in the
personae of female mystics, prophets, and heretics. Maybe that will turn into a
book of its own this summer, when I have more time to dig into the
research. I don't have a website to add
