In Fred’s Berlin reading he tackles a trio of poems written during a six-month sojourn in Berlin during 2015. In a prologue to the reading, Fred recounts a personal history that dovetails with the history of Germany, where his parents served in the liberating of the U.S. Army in World War II.

Bruce Botnick, legendary producer, friend and poetry mentor, edited Fred’s poem, Wind In Her Hair, into song lyrics, as he did for Morrison’s poetry so many years ago when he was producing the iconic LA Woman album for The Doors.
