On Saturday, May 2, I was honored to be invited to read two of my poems for National Poetry Month 2020, on  KPFA radio’s B.A.J.A.B.A. on JaZzLine (Bay Area Jazz and Blues Artists).  The poems read (in order) are Spirit Chaser (Guide for the Departing) and The In-Between.  Destiny Muhammad provides the amazing background music for the poetry.

The poets sharing their work in the complete broadcast included: Iris de Anda, Briana Munoz, Devorah major, John Curl, Jose Hector Cadena, Kim McMillon, Uriel Dana, Karla Brundage, Sam Louie, Tureeda Mikell, Paul Corman Roberts, Judy Juanita, Al Young (read by his son, Michael Young) and Lucinda Clark. All poetry can be heard online in the KPFA (Berkeley, CA) archives.
