record, as well. enjoy...<br>

if you like this, you might like some of his other poetry. he has a book
posted at <a
href="http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/heart-left-open/6660565"
target="_blank">http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/heart-left-open/6660565</a>
. there are two of his favorite poems there, on the lulu product page.<br>
<br>
in case you're inspired to purchase, it's worth noting that given the weird
economics of publishing right now, he makes more money from the download
(US$5.00 to the purchaser) than from the printed copy (US$22.00 plus
shipping). but of course, hardcopy is still hardcopy. the book
itself is beautiful, very well and sturdily made, and with a remarkable cover
photograph from the collection of another friend, one radmila krieger, of <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">munich</st1:place></st1:City>.<br>
<br>
if you want to know what birrell actually looks and sounds like, or just want
somebody to read poems to you, he read twelve of his poems into his webcam and
posted it at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=2217241E5367EB2A"
target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=2217241E5367EB2A</a><br>
<br clear=all>
or maybe it's enough just to enjoy this one, that seems to understand our work
so well.<br>
