Hello…just popping in for a moment.
Went to the Cape over the weekend, enjoyed myself and relaxed. Got some stuff to do around the house, but all in all, a good break.
Have fun, y’all…
Tony
PS:
SPEAK is on for tomorrow night, with a theme of “illusion”. I may be there, may not– we’ll see. But you should come down for it.
PPS:
Oh, and those of you facing off in the final weeks of slam qualifying — Remember this — it always worked for me.
Each time you get on stage, tell yourself: “This may be the last poem you ever do on stage. You might fall, die, lose your voice in the next minutes following the poem. Is this a poem you are willing to have be your last words?”
You may not win a slam, but at least you’ll be a poet.
ml,
T

That may be so.
And yet, it’s the truth.
I nver thought of poetry as fun, to be honest with you — ecstatic, joyful, affirming, maybe; but not fun.
I know I take it way too seriously. I take most things way too seriously, hence my present condition (or perhaps that’s the cause of it?)

It’s funny…
I always ask myself, “When am I going to stop throwing panties at Bill?”

A poet’s last words
“Each time you get on stage, tell yourself: “This may be the last poem you ever do on stage. You might fall, die, lose your voice in the next minutes following the poem. Is this a poem you are willing to have be your last words?”
You may not win a slam, but at least you’ll be a poet.”
DAMN GOOD ADVICE! DAMN GOOD SELF-PSYCHE-OUT!

Where is speak? I should probably know that already, but I have to admit I haven’t been out for poetry since I left Worcester. I plan to spend some time at the Cantab once I’m living in Cambridge.

Sage advice, my friend.
Glad to hear the vacation is going well.
