Hello everyone!

Below is the early English edition and newer Spanish edition of The Coral Sea. I will be reading it for my Subscribers beginning March 9th, Robert Mapplethorpe’s passing day, as well as newer poems for him.

I also including a few snaps from Mexico. Now I am going to have some purple sweet potatoes and head uptown, hopefully the rain will abate. I hope everyone is well. I am happy to be home but miss the multitude of birds singing and chirping in Mexico City.
