Stellar! Julia Vinograd is legend. I've been exploring other Zeitgeist Press poets, especially the newer ones like Romanelli and James Norman. Poetry is indeed alive and thriving.
She was the bubble lady of Berkeley. There’s a mural that’s next door to People’s Park and on the corner of Telegraph that she’s on. It’s a depiction of the turmoil and community of the late 1960s. She’s blowing bubbles in it. She would do that during demonstrations. I remember seeing her and bought a book of her poetry from her. She deserves to be remembered. Thank you for this!
Lovely way to start the day and what a great poem, read beautifully of course. We in London keep being threatened by ice too, it’s so cold but the daffodils are still coming through and reminding us that Spring is coming…….
Wow! She's a force of nature - I'm excited to read more. Love her tone and energy. Thank you for sharing her work and especially for reading it. Hearing poetry read well is just the best thing. ❤️

Beautiful. True. I rather the poems, not the poet, too.
Oh that’s divine Patti! Thanks for sharing 🦥
Sweet story
Love this! And absolutely true
Thank you for recalling Brian Jones , himself a poetic figure. I've learned a great deal about Julia Vinograd, from the comments to your post.
Powerful work! Loved it!
