A few people who attended my reading
with Corina Copp on Saturday at the
Bowery Poetry Club asked about my
poem "With Open Arms" which repeats
the phrase: "Poetry is..."The poem was
published on -fait accompli- on May 14th
and it can be found in the archives column
on the left . Thanks to all
who came, and while we're at it, to all
my readers at -fait accompli-.
If you couldn't make it- see you next time.
Or look for me and
say hello-
you will find me at the Bowery Poetry Club
every Saturday if humanly possible-
want to know why? First, it's a terrific place to
hang out, hear poetry and music and second,
check out this series
curated by Nada Gordon and Gary Sullivan:
