Celebrate Tachyon’s 25th anniversary with National Book Award finalist Michael Cadnum

Rick Klaw blog 25th anniversary, can't catch me and other twice-told tales, michael cadnum, poem 0

Koufax

When they say
life is a book: believe it.
On one page
I watch my first
major league game,
Giants losing 11 to 1
to the Dodger ace.
On another page I’m
with Jacob Weisman in
an Ethiopian restaurant on
Valencia Street,
quietly joyful that
my new publisher
has a canine
staff member named
after the legendary leftie.

There Is a T

For Tachyon’s Anniversary

There is a T in my life,
small, tidy perfectly suited
to the short pieces,
small moments,
that make up my writing life.
I do not need 150,000
cheerleaders drunk on words
and rooting from the sidelines,
but the intimacy, the hand-fasting,
I have with you, T,
gives me the love and grace
to write on.
