THE REST OF IT GOES HERE
Joel Earl, Kelly King and yours truly received thunderous applause after reading our verses at Tony’s Tavern, perhaps Portland’s best weekly hangout for poets. I read first with stentorian bombast updated versions of “Palmer,” “Christ on the Bench,” and Ambition.” Humbly stated, my best reading ever! Next Joel “freakin’” Earl took the lectern--no microphone last night--and did a great job reading “Global Jihad Against Pancakes,” a hilarious piece he wrote on the bus, and “Stream of Television Consciousness,” a May post I believe. Kelly read her Bukowski poem (and I’m on her ass to post it to the blog!) and “Tough Bitch with an Iron.” (sp?) For all of us it was a gratifying evening of sharing our work, representing the blog admirably, and meeting new and established poets on the local reading circuit. Hell, Tommy, the MC, comes into my grocery store for smokes. It’s a kick ass, small world, tight community. Vive Writers Club Internationale!
