Improvisations

These twenty-four ‘free improvisations’ were inspired by various encounters with contemporary music, much of which was played by musicians who call themselves ‘improvisers.’ The poems range & wander through a miscellany of diverse formats and while they were inspired by various musical compositions  the reader need not know the music to connect with these highly imaginative &, as some have noted, inspirational poems.
