Klara im Fenster (Orchard Strasse, Cincinnati 1972)
In der Frueh
Sonne scheinend durch das Fenster—
Da steht Klara
Nackt und wunder schoen
Rotes Haar auf Schultern,
Blaue Augen, nass und klar—
Diese Blume blueht
So spektakular!
[Above is the first draft of my attempt at writing a poem in German. I'll try to get some help from my friends to correct or improve it. I have written a couple poems in German, and one in a mix of Irish and English. And I have tried my hand at some translation. This poem came to me while I was watching (with my class) a movie on Walt Whitman.]

Regatta off Mentor Lagoons, Lake Erie
This blog is based in Northeast Ohio, what was "La Nation du Chat," the Cat Nation, as the French-Canadian furtraders called the Land of the Erie Indians. The blog will touch on many issues: nature, the environment, literature, poetry, society, and politics. Around here we think of the Lake Erie shoreline as the North Coast of the United States--a Frontier in the midst of the Rust Belt.
