DANCE POEMS
A reader asked for some more of these dance poems, so I have posted a few more. These are from the New York City Ballet's "Dancer's Choice" performance in June and are from excerpts of ballets, and thus a little shorter than poems accompanying complete pieces. A couple of people have expressed interest in seeing the Dance Poems collected in a small chapbook like my Film Poems, as a kind of companion volume. Anybody interested in publishing such a project?
