This week's poem, "Tracks in the Snow," is by Carlos Cumpián from his collection Coyote Sun, published by March Abrazo Press.I met Carlos several years ago when he and his wife, poet Cynthia Gallaher, were featured guests at the Theodore Roethke Festival in Saginaw, Michigan. I was then one of the organizers, and had a great time hearing Carlos perform his great poetry and hanging out with him between and after events. If you're ever in Chicago (or if you already are there), try to catch a reading of his. Tell him Report from the Mountains sent you.
This week, to mark the passing of the legendary musician and inventor Les Paul, we have two songs featuring the guitar. "Fingerpickin" is the title track from Wes Montomery's 1957 album. This is followed by "3 Wishes" from Ornette Coleman & Prime Time's Virgin Beauty, which features Jerry Garcia on guitar.
