Poetry & Place by Jim Cokas at the Mono Lake Committee
August 17th, 2012 by Jessica, Information Center & Bookstore Manager
Poetry in Motion
A draft from the bookstore entrance
drifts by
grabbing hanging broadsides
to breathe life into their words.
A flying flock, bristly branches, straying streams
take place of print and paper.
Twisting, rustling, back, forth, up and down:
silent unless provoked
art, poetry, movement are married.
Still lives need not apply.
Brief though it be
in the Theater & Gallery
lives true poetry in motion.
—Jessica Horn, Mono Lake Committee Information Center & Bookstore Manager
