Christ Of The Ozarks.

Overton Park War Memorial, Memphis, TN. Circa 1950s. A friend of my great-grandmother.

I went to Iceland by myself from 18 July through 26 July. I recommend everyone go on a solo trip if you are able.

Pictures in order:

1) Me in the airplane bathroom on the way there. Why not?

2) From the top of Helgafell. Nice mountain hike.

3) Recreated Viking ship you could walk around in at the Viking Museum.

4) Stekkjarkot, a peat/sod house lived in until the 1940s

5) Graffiti on Laugavegur in Reykjavik

6) I received two hand-poke tattoos from Habbe Nero at Icelandic Tattoo Corp.

7) Dinner at Dill Restaurant. I’m eating beef cheek and rutabaga there.

8) The gorgeous opera/music hall Harpa in downtown Reykjavik. Made me cry.

9) Me at Yoko Ono’s Imagine Peace Tower on Viðey Island

10) Afangar, a set of basalt columns around Viðey Island by Richard Serra

Also, it's snowing in Memphis, TN (which never happens, especially in March), and I'm loving it!

August 17, 1946.

Downtown New Orleans, Louisiana. December 2015. I broke my toe the day before. Taken by the amazingly talented Lenore Seal.

Please buy my book of poems!
