Down from the Sycamores

<p><em>Down from the Sycamores </em>recognizes artistic feats both fatuous and fabulous: from a Centre Pompidou street artist to Le Louvre's masterpieces; from intransigents throwing insults across subway tracks to intricate inlays and tapestries of the Loire Valley's chateaux; from seductive Parisian nights to readers of the night sky seeking landfall. These lyric poems pay homage to the human passion for shared connectedness-with the past with nature and with their fellow earth voyagers. Many poems originally appeared in notable literary journals including <em>Boulevard The Texas Review Chelsea Rhino</em> and elsewhere. Richard Burgin Boulevard's founding editor nominated Four Paintings in the Louvre for a Pushcart Prize.</p><p></p>
