about

Kay Ryan's "Green Behind The Ears" was the poem that inspired the "Bird In A Cage" project. I was on tour in 2012 when I sat down at hotel desk and read from her book, "The Niagara River: Poems", before beginning to write. To me, her poems read like songs: concise, deep,
lyrical lines that held a reverberant truth within. I read the last poem in the book, and began to sing, "Green Behind The Ears".
