reading in ohio

Thanks to poet Larry Smith who gave me
James Tate's new book DOME OF THE
HIDDEN PAVILION, just published.

I also read Ray Bradbury's sequel to

Green Town while in Ohio. Just look
at the photo of the clock tower I saw
in Norwalk. It even rang out as I
stood there.

Larry and I went back to Milan and Norwalk
so we could eat breakfast and I took these photos
