Listen.
August 6, 2010
Paul Squires aka GingaTao is my favorite poet of the bloggosphere, and one of my favorite poets ever. I was reeling with news of his accidental death at 46 last week when, less than 24 later, my mother, Suzanne Lawrence died. Both deaths are shocking, unexpected, too soon: they had so much to give to the world still.
I love his poem “Listen” so much that I am hoping to share it somehow at my mother’s Celebration of Life on Sunday at the Ventura County Museum; Below is a link to a podcast of one of my favorite poems of Paul’s; I love hearing him read it. Here’s a link to the text of the poem.

Ditto with favourite poet of the blogosphere and one of my favourite poets ever (well probably my favourite ever too). It’s a wonderful poem, reading and it will be lovely to share. I couldn’t download it properly here but went to the original and heard it again. Take care Gwendolyn.
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mother.
Heartfelt condolences to you.
Listen is also one of my favorite Paul Squires poems. I can’t seem to hear it enough. So much joy in the listening…
