Saw Jeremy Denk twice at Wigmore Hall, once for his Goldbergs, the other for his survey of piano music covering about 800 years. Both programmes made it to CD. Now reading his memoir. 💿🎹📖 #CDs#piano#ClassicalMusic#books#bookstodon@bookstodon
Because You Asked about the Line between Prose and Poetry
by HOWARD NEMEROV
Sparrows were feeding in a freezing drizzle
That while you watched turned into pieces of snow
Riding a gradient invisible
From silver aslant to random, white, and slow.
There came a moment that you couldn't tell.
And then they clearly flew instead of fell.
