His articulate insights and eloquence are inspiring.. Add to those the poems of others he reads as illustration, you've got a dynamite lecture.

Thunders bastards first thought for
Me was any sense of thunder without
Seeing lightning's striking production.
Sure, Bass or bombs, i imagine,
A chaotic threatening
Storm could produce
Thunder for those unabke to be
Aware of the lightning...place, idk. I
Love language and poetry for that capacity,
to reveal new, for as long or deep as a person wants to peel...seemingly or certainly but the person may
Have to want it. May
Have to Work. Re-
warding in subtle and life
Changing ways simu-l
