Around the World

When I was a kid…

When I was a kid I remember thinking that if I had a skyhook that reached high enough I could just grab on and let the earth turn under me, then set down at another longitude thousands of miles away. It seemed so simple; I could go around the world in twenty-four hours. 

More recently…

More recently I noticed that everything feels a lot more calm when I recognize that I’m holding still and everything else is moving around me. Even when I’m driving or flying, there can be a stately calm in knowing the world is pouring by, under over and beside my resting position.

It's a good thing…

It’s a good thing I became a poet and sculptor rather than an engineer—so much more is possible.

A gift idea for the season…

I offer a book of poems, new and selected—the result of nearly three decades of imagination and contemplation—real and better than real in 186 pages, from me to you.

Happy Holidays,
Don
