Poems, poetry, poetics, and poetic rants by the secret asian man.

Nick Carbo will be featured in an interview on National Public Radio's show Morning Edition in "Intersections" on February 16th. Air times, 6:50am and 8:50am.

"Intersections," is a new series about artists and their inspirations. The goal of the series is to learn more about the important film-makers, musicians and writers of our time by hearing them talk about their own artistic sources of inspiration.

Among the many accomplished artists are composer John Adams, writer Jamaica Kincaid, actor Dustin Hoffman, writer/illustrator Art Spiegelman, singer Rickie Lee Jones, and poet Nick Carbo. The series will run every Monday on NPR's Morning Edition during the first six months of 2004.

Also look out for Nick's new book of poems ANDALUSIAN DAWN (Cherry Grove Collections, forthcoming May 2004). Advanced praise:

The spirits of Lorca, the gypsies who inspired him, and the great poets of al-Andalus preside over Nick Carbó's Andalusian Dawn. These poems are filled with a voluble silence in which we hear the "cricket-sound dark" and see "millions of fireflies/ burning in rows and rows between us." Carbó's poems, like his predecessors' are conflagrations made of music and image.
--Michael Collier, editor of The New American Poets: A Bread Loaf Anthology
