Time draws nigh!

I am writing a bunch of new work for this year's 24-hour show. I usually have enough between 24-hour features to cover the first and last hours, which are traditionally when I guarantee I will be performing my own work. I usually sneak about an hour or so in the middle somewhere as well. The difference this year is that the ( Read more... )

I tallied up how many poems I've read at all five 24-hour readings.  I have read approximately 1787, give or take.  No repeats.
