This week I am presenting my "Death Poems Book" of illustrated poetry to a group concerned with comforting the dying. It's an exciting chance to share my love of both poetry and drawing/painting. These are poetry illuminations I began a number of years ago when I realized that poetry was too important to me that I didn't want to leave it too much to chance when I was in my deathbed, that I had certain wonderful poems I've returned to again and again in my life and wanted those to be read to me as I succumb to the dying of the light.
