SPEAK report

Good reading tonight.

Theme was “illusion”, and some interesting takes appeared in the mix.

We had a spectator! A woman from town who came just to listen. She was taken with the work Walt chose to read — poems by a friend of his with CP which were not bad — not great, but not bad.

I read a few Russell Edson poems, my own “Getting Ahead”, and Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice” to end the night.

I like what Heather and Melissa read; Dave G read a great piece by Marj Hahne, Dave Mac (penny_player)was his usual sterling self.

I really want to offer Tom a feature at some point…but embarrassingly enough, I don’t know his last name. How did this happen?

I think I knew it at one point but have lost it.

Sucks to be me lately…

I’ll be out and about a lot over the next few days, so don’t expect much here.
