Leaning into the Solar Wind, by John Crosby & Mark Clemens



John and Mark are longtime poets in the Olympia community. In this reading they confront, "poems about life, memory, smoking, the nuances of being a poet. Oh, listening to the silences, our racial memories (lizard brain), seeing those things that the cat sees when it stares off into the distance. The whirling gust of wind that suddenly turns into the Green Man. Trekking the ecliptic in this century. being born in the depression and a baby boomer."
