River Breakin Biche - from 'Bird Head Son' Audio

River breakin biche is a poem from my forthcoming collection 'Bird Head Son'(Salt 2008).
The poem speaks of 'breakin biche' or 'playing truant'. (Biche = fr -Bush) - So we left school and went to the river bush...it speaks of these adventures along the banks of the San Juan River...from San Juan Government Secondary.
I'll be posting more poems and audio here leading up to the books publication later this autumn, so check back often.
