The throat singing is extraordinary – a dance as much as a song and very intimate. As if the whole person is singing rather than just the head.
The Battery poem is intimate in a different way, a coolness suspended in pain.
Where do you find all these interesting poems?
I’m glad you like them. Where? It’s all intuitive, with me. Yesterday, First Nations in Canada elected their “national” representative; that was where I began, but that’s the only part of my selection I can recall.
