1st Opera Preview at Electric Lodge

The very first taste of ONE DAY LESS was performed by Emily Hayes, soprano and David Javelosa, composer stepping in as the male lead, June 1. We got a 10minute shot in Venice CA at MAX10 - a performance lab - with a few props, a couple of masks, David's electronics and Peter Ludwig's improv cello. It went well, good feedback, more auditions coming and lots of work this summer, hoping for a full concert performance this Fall.

POETRY UPDATE

I am pleased to note that Jennifer MacPherson from Comstock Review, a very early publisher of my poetry,has posted reviews of all my chaps: AS IF, AN EYE, WIRED,and CANCER POEMS on the Comstock Review web site: http://www.comstockreview.org. Comstock is an excellent poetry magazine, for poets and readers - do take a look.
Also pleased to note that the Guyana Journal has re-published "Considering Empire: The Day After" in their latest issue: http://www.GuyanaJournal.com - a fine journal of poetry and prose and news focusing on Guyanese communities in the U.S. - open to all writers.
