[Ned Balbo]

For rock music listeners in the holiday spirit, & maybe some fellow poets, I just posted 2 original songs at Bandcamp: "All Their Kin & Kind" (about animals speaking on Christmas Eve) & "The Vintage Carolers" (about those molded plastic carolers vintage folks always used to see on neighbors' porches in December--a little sweet, a little creepy)

Each is free to stream or download.

If you purchase instead, you can get both songs plus a PDF of 3 Nights of the Perseids, which Erica Dawson chose for the 2018 Richard Wilbur Award. (The book is generally unavailable right now except for ridiculously inflated used bookstore prices.)

"The Vintage Carolers" download: https://nedsdemos.bandcamp.com/track...ntage-carolers
(Just fill in a zero where it says "name your price.")

"All Their Kin & Kind" download:
https://nedsdemos.bandcamp.com/track/all-their-kin-kind
(Same thing: put in a zero at "name your price.")

For both songs plus PDF of 3 Nights of the Perseids:
https://nedsdemos.bandcamp.com/album...midnight-clear
(PDF will be in the same folder as the download of the songs.)

Enjoy the holidays & thanks!
