Gloucester's Song of Milarepa
Excavating Cultural Legacy
By: Charles Giuliano - Sep 10, 2016
Gloucester's Song of Milarepa
Like Milarepa
Tunneling through mountain
Enlightenment at its other side
So too digging into Gloucester
Daunting excavation
The artist Susan Erony
Transcribing Olson’s Maximus
Labor intensive revelation
Meditative mantra
Her Book of Kells
Or translated into Japanese
The enormity of that
Talking with
Israeli Sharar Bram
His thesis on
Olson and Whitehead
Before he visited Gloucester
Harbor and place
Polis in film
By Henry Ferrini
Meeting Gloucester writers
Poet Gerrit Lansing
Rocker Willie Loco Alexander
Lansing's poem in his CD
I'll Be Goode
Gloucester in his music
Sharing Cheetah stories
Lost now found
Week of research
Chewing salty flavors
Fishing for thought
Poet as miner
Mucked with dirt
Sweat of Labor Day
End of summer
Waves lapping
Shores of myths
Edgy reading
Ultra Cosmic Gonzology
Introduced by Jay Jaroslav
Off the hook
Gloucester Writers Center
Dustups with destiny
Annisquam's Annie Mechem
Sharing odd melancholy
Growing up absurd
Cousins and friends
Artists Bob and Pennie
Mark up from Boston
Handsome cousin Kevin
Full of tales
Brought Kate and Paris
Radiant as city of lights
Pip generous to a fault
Sharing books
Planning others
Dirty business of poetry
An Odyssey
Endless voyage
Returning home
To Cape Ann
Island next to but
Separated from America
An other place
City state by the sea
Rich turf of Irish ancestors
Resting deep in its soil
Inviting archaeology
Slowly unearthed
