And It All Worked Out So Well
A while back I was contacted by a gent named Joe Robinson, who is doing a project connecting musicians to writers for collaborative work. Songs, in this case. Joe asked me to send him some poems. He ended up putting one to music, and I am delighted with the results. Big shout out to Logan Square Literary Review, where Joe first saw my work. (But by the way, I never got a contributor copy--hey Logan Square Lit folks, do you still have one you could send me?) And I had always thought of the poem Joe chose to work on as a song. It was inspired by the wordsmith songcraft genius of Peter Mulvey. You can listen to Joe's work, along with other collaborations he has arranged, right here.

Oh, but this is awfully good! Indeed, I laughed--aloud!--several times. More; more, I say!
