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.

Haunted by the Woman in the Red Hood
Tom’s piece about the Big Bad Wolf was one of the most screwed up things I ever heard. He totally threw all of those myths and legends on their heads in ways I could not imagine and I have heard a lot of revisionist fairy tales. This was unique, to say the least. So unique I don’t think I could even explain it with any sense of justice.

Although, I must say how happy I’ve been that they’ve been receptive to running more articles about poetry lately.

Oh, I know. I just couldn’t resist playing straight man. (:

Ain’t that the truth.
By the way — I was only joshing the T & G earlier on Morris’ blog — he set it up, I just knocked it down…

Alas, I am once again at work reading about very uninspiring small town elections.
And I think I would have liked to have read the new piece for “Illusions.” ‘Cause really, that’s what it’s about.
