I think I have a few minutes.
So I'd like to just as a bit of advertisement
read a few poems out of the manuscript for that book
Points on the Grid.
And I'll start with one that I was asked to read,
which appeared not too long ago in anthology of Canadian love
poems called "Love Where the Nights Are Long"
to which reference is made in a new Playboy magazine.
The article in Playboy is called "The Girls of Canada."
[LAUGHTER] But Angela didn't have her picture in there.
"Steps of Love."
"Coming out of your clothes you were a girl in the night,
naked in a strange house, receptive to a question
of what I would do.
You were for the first time uncovered
to me, your two white shoulders thin in the air hunched
and shining there.
And breast turning to me.
Cool skin of unimagined girl suspended in shadow and hands
now bashful searching for a place to rest behind you.
You listened to my silence.
You gathered something in your mind.
And you danced on your bare feet with your long arms
to meet me."
