Here’s a video of me reading my poem “Keep Moving (Home)” at the Kettle Pond Writers Conference June 23, 2026. This poem was first published as the liner notes to the album “Keep Moving (Home)” by my nephew Brian Citro (Calligram Records, 2026). You can stream and purchase the album (as digital, CD, and limited edition vinyl) from the label HERE. The CD includes the text of the poem in the 6-panel, full-spread digipack and the vinyl includes it as a full-size insert.

…at 5,300 ft the tallest mountain on the Ionian island of Cephalonia, Greece…on a mossy stone outcrop, surrounded by Greek fir, black pine, wild bellflowers, violets, and poppies…and generous people willing to pay attention to me lipping off for 20 minutes while on top of the world.
