Pleased to bits to have a poem published today in International Times, operated out of the UK since the Sixties. My sincere thanks to the editors of IT for including “rhapsody in blue”.
This poem is an outcome of my first encounter with Gershwin’s work ( big thanks to Arpita) and my repeated travels to Kafka’s Trial. Thanks to kid’s insistence I could complete (!) this piece in “Cafe des artistes” during my last visit to the confluence of St Lawrence. Lastly, I dedicate this poem to John Hutnyk, author of many books and presently professor at Ton Duc Thang University in Vietnam. Cheers!
