Sparrow - Small Happiness and other Epiphanies / by Sharon Israel

LISTEN to my April 13th, 2021 WIOX Radio conversation with poet, essayist, novelist and blithe spirit Sparrow on his new book Small Happiness & Other Epiphanies.  Sparrow urges us to “dance your way to health” among other spiritually whimsical (or whimsically spiritual) suggestions for better living. Hear Sparrow’s original musical offering “Bungalow Bop” performed by Sparrow (words, flute/guitar) and Robert Burke Warren (music, vocals/guitar).

 Sparrow lives in a doublewide trailer in the salutary hamlet of Phoenicia, New York. He has published 10 books, the most recent being Small Happiness & Other Epiphanies (Monkfish Publishing). Sparrow plays tonette in the axiomatic pop group Foamola.

 Pamela Manché Pearce, Planet Poet’s Poet-At-Large, also joins the conversation with a fascinating segment on the art of collage in jazz, art and poetry.
