Dear Friends,

I have gathered a selection of my poetry from the last twenty-five years into a book called THE SEASONS. (You can preview or order the book here.)

I am grateful to everyone who has read and responded to the poems over the years. I will continue posting my new work here and in twenty-five years (or less) I will have book number two ready for you.

Warmly,

Kevin











Red



                        The Goddess of Whores by Jenny Heineman



There is 
a red ribbon
of liquid
flowing
so quickly
just behind 
your head.

Or is it 
a bolide
in the back 
of your head?

You can’t see it
but there it is.

Love now
as if it were 
the only food,

as if you 
are falling 
and love 
is a rope.

A tiny 
red river
of fire

going

going . . .

the poetry of Kevin Lawler

The gift economy . . .
from Wiki - In anthropology and the social sciences, a gift economy is a mode of exchange where valuable goods and services are regularly given without any explicit agreement for immediate or future rewards. Ideally, voluntary and recurring gift exchange circulates and redistributes wealth throughout a community, and serves to build societal ties and obligations.
