Unpacking My Bird... A Discovery Most Joyful!

Read "Unpacking My Bird... A Discovery Most Joyful!" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

The Unfinished Score

Read "The Unfinished Score" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose


In the act and art of writing--whether word or music, prose or poetry, a writer is almost completely lost in the creative challenge; the adventure that unfolds as words or notes start to appear on the page or in between the lines and spaces of a score sheet--both of which start off blank--is both exciting and ...
