Featuring three poems by W. B. Yeats (1865-1939): “When You Are Old,” “The Second Coming,” and “He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven.”
P.S. A few updates:
- You may or may not know that I’ve been quite sick the last few years with several health conditions. It’s been very difficult. In fact, as I recorded this video, I was recovering from COVID (which I’ve had multiple times now). Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
- Re: my writing – I think I’d like to try to start working in a more intentional way, concentrating on some longer, more polished pieces and sending them off to various forums (magazines, journals, websites) for possible publication. Because most places require first publication rights, I probably won’t be able to “publish” written work as often to this blog. I still intend to share little scribbles here and there, and if I’m lucky enough to get anything published, I’ll gladly post an excerpt and a link to where you can find the entire piece. We’ll see how things go.
- I’ve been hoping to self-publish a pocket-sized book of poems. I’d love to create a small run of hand-bound copies and maybe even work with an artist to add illustrations. Stay tuned.
