A 4th of July Poem from A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst...

Once again, it’s the 4th of July. Once again this young, brash, and imperfect union has the chance to reflect on just what it is, what it has been, and what it might one day be…if only we have the courage to own it all with honesty and a stark humility. Who’s to say if collectively we will? The 4th is a complicated day for me.

But, what’s not complicated — this poem. It’s read by William Boyle, and can be found on A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst — Unabridged Audio either on CDs, or as a download at most of the audiobook spots, or even requested from your local library. Enjoy!

Aloha!

Hawaii Pacific Review was kind enough to feature one of the drunk poems from A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST, one about living my best life in my friend’s family chalet in the Alps. I’ve long thought of that time on my life as an early glimpse at what retirement might looks like, and the memory of it has kept me going through many a weary day since. I can only hope that those artistically minded working folks among you will find something in it to help you through those long, hard days punching a clock. If so, pop on over to HPR and let them know so!
