The February 2014 drawings were all done in Cafe Puccini. Many pages of the book had previously made calligraphic elements including letters from the alphabet, short texts, and abstract drawings. Also, towards the end of the month I added short poems and parts of poems by Kaye McDonough who I met one morning at the cafe. "Paris in the twenties lasted forty years," is one of her poems. Kaye was a long time North Beach poet/resident who now lives and teaches on the East Coast. She was in town to do a reading at City Lights. I am thinking to continue with the idea of juxtaposing and drawing with a poem on a daily basis. It seems like an activity that would be good for one's mind. It also enables me to explore curious relationships between words and image.
