DKC @ UCLA FOB 4/26/09



At the UCLA Festival Of Books last weekend I gave away and read a small sampling of poems from CAMPBELL'S CLASSICS:

Campbell's Travels
In The Sea Of Dolphins, I Am A Manta Ray
Jelly
The Earth (a sonnet)
Top Of The News

Soon, if you look to the Video Bar on the right side of this blog, you'll be able to view my performances of In The Sea Of Dolphins, Jelly, and Top Of The News at this event. (And even catch a couple glimpses of mi amor de mi vida.) But until then, use these links:

IN THE SEA OF DOLPHINS, I AM A MANTA RAY
