Overview

Down from the Sycamores recognizes artistic feats, both fatuous and fabulous: from a Centre Pompidou street artist to Le Louvre's masterpieces; from intransigents throwing insults across subway tracks to intricate inlays and tapestries of the Loire Valley's chateaux; from seductive Parisian nights to readers of the night sky seeking landfall. These lyric poems pay homage to the human passion for shared connectedness-with the past, with nature, and with their fellow earth voyagers. Many poems originally appeared in notable literary journals, including Boulevard, The Texas Review, Chelsea, Rhino, and elsewhere. Richard Burgin, Boulevard's founding editor, nominated ""Four Paintings in the Louvre"" for a Pushcart Prize.
