Welcome to WOL. What very good poems! I especially liked Visiting. Hope you enjoy WOL. It seems to be a bit quiet at the moment, has fits and starts! Maybe try a blogg in Feb? (Not tonight or it will disappear into January only to be found by those searching for a good poem to read!

Hi David
All your poems are of exceptional quality, but I was particularly interested in the ones about Dylan and Coltrane. OK, the Dylan had a wider feel, but I wonder if your forthcoming collection Slow Blues features more poems with musical themes. It's something that interests me. I was playing some early Dylan the other day and he sounded as fresh as ever. The later Dylan sounds more like Tom Waits. Nothing wrong with that, though. Greg
