What if we were going to do Haiku Milieu volume 2, say, by the 2020…

It is genuinely difficult to find the words that convey your gratitude for your collaborator’s work, and yet express that something else is needed. The ghosts of your own hurt feelings, the ways you may have hurt others by telling…

I don’t know why a band that interprets and covers Bob Dylan songs has turned out to be a hotbed of personal and professional creativity.  I love being in the band The Zimmermen so much. 

First and foremost, because it’s…

Steve Dawson.  Singer.  Songwriter.  Performer.  He will break your heart and mend it at the exact same time.  

We worked on this song together for the 7.16 Haiku Milieu: Begin with the End in Mind, and you can add it…
