THE ASIAN LARIAT THINGIE

Hm. What do you know...I'm still "Asian American."

But anyhoot -- thankee to Nick Carbo and Didi Menendez and MiPOesias for the chance to share poems I wrote about 8 years ago when I was deepest in collaboration with faboo artist Max Gimblett -- do click on Max's link for some of the most gorgeous paintings about. (Thanks to Helene Wurlitzer Foundation in Taos where I wrote the last 2 poems.)

And if you click on my poem-page and scroll all the way down, you get to see my official photo as Dutch Henry Winery Poet Laureate. ("Official" here means I'm there for lunch every Saturday when weather is good, pontificating at the hapless tourists I manage to snag by my picnic table as they innocently arrive to taste wine.)
