Carl Kopman Featured Monday, 4/21

4/21 Carl Kopman 




Treading on a rock path
I have not much to say.
That these children want
to hold my hand
is enough.

Letting words
age in cautious steps
is enough.

Carl Kopman is a cabdriver from Brooklyn, New York, a salmon fisherman from the Hippie Years in Mendocino, California,  a school teacher living in Berkeley, and a writer. He spends his time enjoying his family, playing pool, restoring a 600 year old monastery in Nepal, and, with his wife, making habitable a small house on a wild river in San Miguel, Panama. He is currently working on a collection of short stories and shorter poems.  He has been working on this collection most of his life.

  1. Thank you.
    After her 29 yrs (My wife) now found your letter of sponsorship and confirms as sponsor for her schooling.

    I googled out to find Carl and Simon Kopman which led me here. Would be very nice to hear back from both of you. :-)
