Ashleigh Auckland: “Little Hell” by City and Colour
One of the blessings of living in Tuscany is being able to play host to all my friends from around the world. Not only do they get to experience a little slice of my life here, but they see beauty which is truly unique to the region.

POEM: Listening to Billy Collins at a Bramantino Exhibition
Listening to Billy Collins at a Bramantino Exhibition (Milano 2012) It is in the sense of pace, the low tone and subtle, comforting pauses, which brings to mind the word “slowdom” and then finds it eradicated for its nearness to the word boredom which does not apply. But it is a turtle’s pace of voice, seeming to suck air out of the room so there are only words left for us to breathe upon. But I feel he would forgive the…
