On the forge of the gods, the hot metals take shape

Been working, intensely and attentively, on the Darfur work. It is not that there is nothing coming, on the contrary, there is a great deal. I am merely editing, directing and refining it to a point. I don't want to be one more shallow, hollow citizen who fires one bullet then declares the war is over.

I am selecting a time on Sunday, October 1, to release the poem and the work and the podcast, all within a window so tiny as to seem instantaneous. The work will go up on City of Legends Radio, Apple's iTunes Music Store, Authors' Den, www.archive.org and MySpace all at once.
