They Asked Me To Do a Reading About the Sea
(as written and read by Keith Torgan)
They asked me to do a reading about the sea
“The sea?†I asked.
“The sea†they said
Well
I’ve always loved the sea
When I was small
My father took me to the sea
And threw me in the air
And caught me
In the warmth of his [...]
Food reaches special heights in the depths of summer, a time to seize upon because it is so fleeting, a time just to stand in the garden and inhale vivid images of flavor and combination, taking multiple elements and making them one story.
I cook largely by flavor memory. I look for balance and background and [...]

Tennysonian Parodies
1.
Like the Wag who jumps at evening,
All along the sanded floor;
2.
To watch the typsy cripples on the beach,

With such a turkey! such a hen!
And scrambling forms of distant men.
O! ain’t you glad you were not there!
4.
Delirious Bulldogs – echoing, calls
My daughter – [...]
3/4 c olive oil
6-10 cloves garlic
Oregano a massive bunch
Salt, approximately 3-5 Tablespoons
Pepper
Wash and dry your chicken inside and out. Set aside. Make marinade by chopping up the garlic and oregano (strip leaves from stems) and mixing it all other ingredients. Or you can put all the ingredients into the processor and buzz for a few [...]

The Dalliance of Eagles
Skirting the river road, (my forenoon walk, my rest,)
Skyward in air a sudden muffled sound, the dalliance of the eagles,
The rushing amorous contact high in space together,
The clinching interlocking claws, a living, fierce, gyrating wheel,
Four beating wings, two beaks, a swirling mass tight grappling,
In tumbling turning clustering loops, straight downward falling,
Till o’er [...]
(As read by Alex Tuller and prepared by Dean Temple for the August 4, 2005, podcast)
It’s a nice time of year to have an ice cream, not that there is a bad time of year for one. Alex has always been fond of having ice cream at winter’s first snow. She can hold the cone [...]
