Alex Martin - Second Letter to Marlea

2. Second Letter to Marlea
Many of my father’s poems began as letters. In this one he is accompanied by his collie Hannah (whom he named for the philosopher Hannah Arendt) on a walk during which they discover a source that becomes the Source. I wrote a cello solo that is beautifully performed by Jodi Beder (of Dovetail, Zen for Primates, and other groups). A dear friend and neighbor, she has made a specialty of accompanying spoken word artists. Dad is among the poets she has performed with.
