Connections

Today is not a poem. Today is a suggestion: read The Ottawa Citizen for its amazing special edition, edited by the incomparable Stephen Lewis. The whole thing is on the HIV/AIDS Africa issue, for which, of course, Mr. Lewis is the Canadian U.N. Envoy...

look in section B for the story of the Grannies...and see my friend Marilee Rhody there. Marilee and husband David have spent considerable time living in Africa, and I am way proud of her activism...

Today is a poem, too...it has been rich with family and friends...

and tomorrow we welcome some Ottawa poets here for a BBQ and evening of new works...

Summertime, and the living is...

blessed.
