| Recollections: Poetry describes a sojourn from the Requiem at Malcolm's funeral, through the barriers of a new world during the grieving period. Without a mate in this new world of singles, there were many experiences rather puzzling to the poet. Armed with Plato and Albert North Whitehead philosophy, she managed to transcend some painful experiences. This piece was recorded in Milo Studio in London, with Takehisa Kasugi, electronic violin, and Michael Pugliese, Percussion. Kasugi is now Musical Director, after the death of John Cage, and David Tudor, of of Merce Cunningham Dance Company.

I often sleep in their living room, with its bubble for a ceiling, in the middle of the Garden of Eden. In this garden is Adam, my grandson, the most precious fruit of all, LAUGHTER. (Sample) |
