KIRA Creative Quarantine
The Kingsbrae International Residencies for Artists (KIRA) requested its alumni to consider creating a ten minute video of themselves offering an instructional lesson based on themselves working in their specialist areas. You can click on the above link to see all the creative videos currently available. Note that two more are added each week. Here is a link to my own video on Writing a Poem. It is designed for people of any age and I hope that anyone who sees the video will enjoy it and be inspired to start putting together their own poems.
The photo above was taken by Geoff Slater, the Artistic Director at KIRA. He placed a selection of my books on the beach at Holt’s Point and Bingo: instant art from a master artist. My book Fundy Lines now sunbathes on a beach that has ready access to the beautiful Bay of Fundy.
NOW THERE AREN’T MANY PEOOPLE WHO CAN SAY THAT, ROGER. IS YOUR BOOK STILL SUNBATHING OR DID SOMEONE PICK IT UP BEFORE THE TIDE CAME IN?

Geoff was very kind. He placed the books carefully on the beach, photographed them, and then rescued them before the tides of time drifted them all out to sea, down Passamaquoddy Bay, out to the Bay of Fundy into the Atlantic Ocean, across the high and low seas, and back to my birthplace in Gower, Wales, on the Banks of the River Severn that flows into the Bristol Channel. Wow: what a journey … the story of my life.

IT WOULD BE QUITE A JOURNEY FOR CERTAIN! NOT AS BAD AS PASSING THRU THE PANAMA CANAL, HEADING ARUND TO THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND GOING AGAINST THE TIDE UP TO THE OHIO RIVER AND THEN AGAINST THE TIDE ON UP THE OHIO TO MY TTOWN, OWENSBORO.
