Music: dream/scrapbook

Hello there! I’m so excited to share this collaboration with you – a poem I wrote last year was turned into a song by my dear friend Jay Richardson. Jay is a wonderful composer and organist who lends every drop of his enthusiasm to every one of his projects. I’m honoured that he chose some of my work as inspiration for his own, and so delighted with how it turned out – check it out!

 

Please head over to Jay’s website to have a listen to some of his other work.

dream/scrapbook

these two hands and
your full lips like
envelopes like
paper cranes and

the snow or grass and
the shelled-out school bus
and the blueberries pressed
between grinning fingers or

spell for the sea

i sit by the sea and call it forth
it sends me waves and waves again
i ask for more and so they come
and sweep me out away with them

Chishimba – a memory

here’s a little story about this photo –

it was taken in april 2009, just under ten years ago, when we were still living in zambia. the four of us had just spent a beautiful week on the shores of lake tanganyika and faced a 12-hour drive back to lusaka. i had my nintendo DS lite (in pink, obviously), loaded up with an animal crossing cartridge, so i was all set for the road, but we decided to stop about three hours in to do a little more sight-seeing before stopping in kasama for the night.
