3. Videos: the just for fun stuff
A NOTE: there are a good number of videos searchable online where you can see me reading serious poetry. At some point, I hope to add links, but this page is still in progress. Below are some videos of light verse performance pieces.
"Thomas de Tonnerre" (a Halloween song, with one of my French classes
at St. Catherine's School, to practice French negative constructions)
"Chihuahua" is a light-hearted blues piece, collected in Scattershots

These"Creature Quatrains" were published in A Betabestiary, a collection of light verse quatrains paired with animal factoids and mythical creature lore.

"Johnny and Susie's Halloween" is a comic call and response rap originally written for an audience of middle school kids at an arts camp. It's collected in Scattershots.

4. Videos: some (for now, token) serious stuff
"Listening for Ghosts" is from a sequence of poems about my early years in South Africa.
It's collected in Mutt Spirituals.
