Each member is well-published and recognized as a seasoned performer. Together they are available for art gallery receptions, museum celebrations, as guest artists in classical music programs, and (with accompanying bass) in special appearances at writing conferences and evening soirees.

MEN STILL LIKE THE SMELL
OF FRESH, CLEAN CLOTHES

My dead parents drive by our house.
They see their youngest child, now
a gray-haired man with an aching toe,
mowing the lawn. “He still doesn’t do
a very careful job,” my mother notes.
“Let it go,” my father grumbles, more
impressed by my young, second wife
hanging out a washing of clothes.
