Nothing Important Happened Today
Read for the New York Writers Workshop at the Red Room with Sudeep Sen, Ravi Shankar, and Claudia Serea last Thursday. Good turnout, thanks to the strong promotional efforts by the organizer Tim Tomlinson. Claudia Serea's poems, from Nothing Important Happened Today , were very appealing in their lyrical directness and imaginative shifts. Born in Romania, she fled the country after the only violent revolution in Communist Europe. At a poetry reading— ice melting in a steel basin * Sweet sweet sweet rises from the swamp into a yellow warbler Composing haiku relieves the hemorrhoids a happy waste of time
