8th collection of poetry as the 211th edition of the Laguna Poets
Series publicatins on Inevitable Press.

It's called "Brendan Constantine is My Kind of Town" and is a
collection of poems written over the past several years occasionally
revolving around the theme of 'poems written to my friend Brendan'.

Please join me at this reading at The Wells Fargo Bank Building in
Laguna Beach:

This is a free event and all are welcome to participate in the
accompanying open reading.

It would be hoopy if you could make it.

        GONE TO ISTANBUL

        I have your pen
        left on the table
        before three months in Istanbul

        You won¹t need it there
        where for less than the price
        of an American coffee

        Ten men
        will write down
        everything you say

        So be careful
        what you say
        You have the tendency to go on

        Which we love
        here in Los Angeles
        But in Istanbul

        the extra three minutes
        riffing on your favorite German director
        could change history

        We don¹t want calls from the UN
        "You¹ll need to feed his cat
        for an extra two years

        while we question him
        about Klaus
        and the boat."

        Stick to the bazaars
        They¹re outside
        You can get lost

        in the hookah options alone
        Two years is too long
        for a cat to go without food
