After spending the evening with Coleman Barks and Lisa J. Starr
along with three hundred poetry junkies in Mt Shasta,

A piece from “Summer Food” by Coleman Barks:

and walk around after supper

A piece from “Lair” by Lisa Starr:
“…May you once in a while, upon waking,
remember the hungry love of a panther-

There are no edges to my loving now.
I’ve heard it said there’s a window
that opens from one mind to another,
but if there’s no wall, there’s no need
for fitting the window, or the latch.”
