Aaron Yamaguchi of Chico, Ca. is among the touring poets with Slam America Bus tour. The French will recite poetry, not necessarily their own, by heart, speaking in beautiful diction. It is a joy to hear their recitations. We then read ours, not by heart, and were dutifully applauded even though the audience did not understand much of it. The French take their poetry serious.
Today is a beautiful day, still cool, but sunny and friendly.
Lets hope July will show itself in full force before we depart. Augard gave her second tour of the Louvre yesterday, this time the 18th and 19th century painters. It is all so very interesting. One hates to leave the huge museum. This PM we are to submit poetry we wrote here for an anthology.
