In what seems like another world, I wrote a book of poems based on the Greek Orpheus myth, & my collaborator Barbara Brannon & I turned it into the first RaiBook chapbook back in 1999. Long have I wanted to get it online like the other RaiBooks. Last weekend, my wife KD & I spent many hours working through the formatting & font issues. The result is pleasing to see. I wrote these poems mostly on a crowded morning train commute into downtown Boston, notebook mashed up near my face. They are strange to me now yet I value them, I learn from them, I hope others will read & enjoy them too. Barbara's wonderful art along makes this book worth your time.

I love the art and your work!

Thank you, Sid It was a labor of friendship to bring this book to being. There is nothing more gratifying for me than to wed my words to another's images or music. A new magic.
