Talking up "Accents"

   I had the occasion today to talk with some young people about Frank Zappa. After I told them about the framed autograph, I mentioned the poem I wrote about meeting him. Of course I mentioned "Accents" on Amazon KDP

   Broad River Books has a unique marketing tool. I do not know if it is available elsewhere outside of the USA. But at least in the UK, one can go to a bookstore or other designated site, order the book, and it will be made available Print-on-Demand. I do not know the details, but I thought I should pass this on!

Interesting Movie About Artistic Friends

   19th Century France literally pulsed with creative endeavor in all of the arts. Cézanne et moi was filmed last year; I watched it toda
y on Netflix. If you do not like subtitles or explicit language, this movie will not please you.

    But it is worth watching for its depiction of a friendship. Zola is the moi of the title. The movie also shows how creativity is unpredictable and how artists struggle not only to create, but to find their place in the world.
