"Walks In Beauty"

So here's another of my experiments with audio, this time a wee bit less depressing than the excerpt from Camus' The Plague (whoa.)

Here is my attempt at reading Lord Byron's "She Walks In Beauty."

I figure in this day and age, with Trump in the White House and disease in the body politic, we need all the cheery love poetry we can get.

About me: I’m a writer and former journalist who has published material on everything from computers to the Jazz Age. (Among my small claims to fame is that I interviewed Steve Jobs just after that talented if complicated man got kicked out of Apple, and just before the company’s Board came begging him to come back.)

Please check out my new book, Padre: To The Island, a meditation on mortality, grief, and joy, based on the lives and deaths of two of the most amazing and unconventional people I ever met, my mother and father.

InvisibleIsland

This video experiment is based on a short piece of mine, "on an island otherwise invisible,” which appeared in Chapter Seven of The Anemone Sidecar. You may see the original here: http://ravennapress.com/anemonesidecar/chapters.html

I don't know why, but the video seems a little cropped to one side here on blogspot. To see it in full, you might want to go to full screen mode, or hop over to my Youtube account at
