I'm home

in Oakland, body totally confused about what time zone it's in. And parts of me still in Bellusco, Bristol, Vienna....so many wonderful people and experiences packed into the last 16 days.

Thank you everyone in Bellusco, for giving me and my work an incredibly warm welcome. It was one of the most moving experiences I've had as a poet, to have an audience respond with such depth when many of them couldn't understand the words. And to read and hear my poems translated - and feel them draw me in like unfamiliar gardens.
