A weekend full of poetry...and other assorted madnesses.

Saturday I worked all day then had to book over to the Arts Festival for my feature, only to find it rained out. Once the rain passed I got to squeeze in some of the feature, but my heart wasn't in it at that point and I didn't know it was being cut short. I was tired, wet, hungry and had ( Read more... )

Still feeling dopey (these drugs are POW.  UR.  FULL.) and at work (why be loopy at home when you can give people highly suspect customer service and get paid for it?), but wanted to take a few minuites to see how far I can get through this today.

So I pulled a 3 and read "Cruise Director" in the first round.  "Cruise Director"? you cry, "What the ( Read more... )

I like the venue Sips, a coffeehouse in downtown-Mulberry-esque Mt. Vernon, Ohio. They serve homemade pie and a chili worth driving an hour for ( Read more... )

A lot of poets don't post setlists anymore.  I am reasonably sure it is because they read the same stuff from gig to gig with little deviation.  I can understand that.  I don't DO that, but I get it.  I think it's unfortunate, too.

Last night was WONDROUS! We didn't even have any place to stand. Had to be 60 people in and out of that place ( Read more... )

What can I say about poetry in the New England area that half of the people who read this don't already know? Not much, I am sure: it is a vibrant, legacy-driven scene filled with readings and home to many poets who are, pound for pound, better than most of the features they bring in. Most of them have been at this for a long time and they're still ( Read more... )
