Not to sound morbid, but a little hobby I play in my head (that sounds creepy) is to come up with songs that I’d like played at my funeral.
I think Blue would be perfect.
I’ve been meaning to respond to this thread since we were in Fayetteville visiting Miller, but for some reason couldn’t sign in. It was a small irony when this topic popped up because there was a beautiful print made for Lucinda and Miller’s Poetry Sung Poetry Said show in Chicago in 2004 (i believe). It is a block print done by Kevin Bradley who had Yee Haw Industries in Knoxville and has done a couple of other designs for Lucinda (including the Raised On Polk Salad and Poetry t-shirt for Car Wheels). Anyway, the print which is displayed at Miller’s house, has the words to Miller’s A Poem For Emily on the left side and the words to Blue on the right side. The irony is that A Poem For Emily is about the birth of Emily, Lucinda’s niece. When this thread popped up I thought the whole death and birth thing was, well….ironic.
I should add that if anyone ever sees this print show up on Ebay or elsewhere I would like to know as I do not believe that Lucinda has one -and there were only a hundred made.I also have to add that the response earlier in this thread of “they’re not worth it in the end” was absolutely hilarious.
The post of the year.TO,
You can go straight to the source – The Poetry Center of Chicago. I found it by googling ‘Lucinda Miller Williams print’ and ticking ‘images.’ There is a phone number listed for the center to call. Scroll down the web store to find an image of the print. Exactly as you described.

This is Lucinda Williams first poetry broadside. Only one-hundred of these broadsides were printed. The very few of these that remain are available for purchase by calling The Poetry Center.

The post of the year.Ha: TO Himself shut out of the sign-in process temporarily? I can relate, you spammer you. And the Yee Haw poster of Car Wheels hangs on my living room wall, purchased at Disc Exchange of Knoxville. No doubt its graphic image will appear in this space soon, courtesy Lafayette.
