An American artist
at home in the world
Fine wine
cheese fruit and vegetables
it was like a visit to the old
prosperous California
Patti has never been camera-shy
A meticulous contemplative
photographer these days,
Her recent book The M Train
details an artist's obsession
with image and talisman
with sacred fetishism
Museum shows
and Chevalier des Artes
en la Belle France
The tough chick rebel leader
cartoon proves fairly
indelible as well
But she's a Blakean lamb
at heart
always was
A poet
who read with her friend
Allen Ginsberg
and found a lot in his Buddhism
A woman of letters
In films by Robert Frank
Concert tours with legends
who are now her peers
Exhibition of her itchy scratchy
texty drawings on apper
An autumnal
portrait of the artist
All art
a self-portrait
Be a gathering,
y'all
Patti like a ghost in the
Exhibition
Well,
the clock says
the clock says
it's time to go,
now
A long walk across campus,
the over-amped playing fields,
has its compensation
in adventure
A fond bon soir
to horizons not quite lost
to Mills college
