“When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a prosperous Syrian-American and father of four, chose to stay through the storm to protect his house and contracting business. In the days after, he traveled the flooded streets in a secondhand canoe, passing on supplies and helping those he could. But, on September 6, 2005, Zeitoun abruptly disappeared.”

Feliz Cumpleaños Pablo Neruda. Join a celebration tonight at the Red Poppy.
As the great Chilean wrote, cuánto pasa en un dia, or so much happens in a day.
Let us know your favorite Neruda poem. So hard to pick. I love Caballos.

diez caballos salieron a la niebla.
All at once, led out by a single man,
ten horses were stepping, stepping into the mist.
It’s a poem that could bring anyone out of a funk.
