The Swan reading @ Stirrup was indeed an explosion. Jay Thompson killed it, and to say any more might desecrate the residual shine. Nathan Bartel read an eight-page poem full of light and nose-stealing that flattened us. We're not sure we'll ever achieve anything more than two dimensions ever again. KateGreenstreet fingertipped her two-way glass poems all over our ribcage. At the time...
... at the Beep Beep Gallery in Midtown Atlanta on Saturday, November 20th. The reading will feature KateGreenstreet , Brigitte Byrd , and Scott Wilkerson .
Friday morning, I was notified that the galleries would have a group of school kids visit that afternoon, so I am over my art tour hump, as I had to improvise very quickly a tour of Fireflies with a small group of 1st-5th graders. For not loving kids or hanging out with children on a regular basis, all things said, it went pretty well. Went to Bill and Kate's opening at the Stephen L. Clark...

I've been trying to work on/expand what is potentially the 4th section of my new manuscript, in it's infant stages. So, I've been reading these books to water my brain-plants this afternoon, as the snow continues: KateGreenstreet, The Last 4 Things Joshua Clover, The Totality for Kids Graham Foust, As In Every Deafness Jed Rasula, Syncopations *** So many new things exist now just for...
Stuart Greenhouse gives Disappears in the Rain a big thumbs up too. How about you? And I'm right there with him about the amazing KateGreenstreet, whose blog I still miss and whose The Last 4 Things is top of my bookbuying list. And Ana's book I'm looking forward to, too. *** I wrote a poem yesterday for an old friend's 60th birthday. It was fun to write something fun -- rhyming couplets,...
