Listed in PSA's WHO'S WHO as one of the top twenty nature photographers, Dr Locke proudly claims 45 of his Alley photos are accepted on line.Alley Photoes are a unique collection. These are pictures of discards and trash in alleys. There is a search for a design that speaks beauty from what people have thrown away, A true dilletente, Dr Locke also excels as a painter. Currently his one-man show of over 30 painting is on display at the Pyramid gallery in Tampa. Accolades include the Edna St. Vincent Millay, Charles Agnoff, and Walt Whitman awards,
Dr Locke now lives alone and isolated in the sunny Tampa.
His recreational activities are drinking wine,
listening to old operas, and reading postmodern philosophy.

Poems by Duane Locke2716 Jefferson StreetTampa, FL 33602-1620 Duane Locke
WHEN THE LIPS WERE ALIVE THE LIPS SPOKE LATIN
In Roman gardens DANAË
The redhead wore a short shirt, THE OBSCURE MAN IN REMBRANDTIn this chiaroscuro I was the one Always in the dark. Although on rare occasions A light streak Would illuminate my ear lobe, My full face never seen. At times, I almost Made it to a lit place Where my face Would be visible, But it was always obscured By a shadow from a helmet, Or from A large red feather On a wide-brimmed hat. AFTERNOON BY THE GULF AND A YELLOW BIRDAfter white wine I feel asleep By a gum tree stream That had alligator, With leaves mud-caked Across his forehead. When I awoke After dreams Of a crow With light blue wings Flying through My bedroom In an Italian castle And of bright grasses With spiked globes Like Danish lamps Sticking out Of a skyblued rain puddles, I saw a tiny yellow bird Sitting on my knee, She bowed, pecked, Hopped away. I, extremely happy, Stayed still. The yellow bird returned, Danced across my chest. PILEATED WOODPECKERS
I heard their exciting music |
