Reading Report:
I'd like to extend sincere gratitude to everyone who made the benefit for New Orleans refugees Brett Evans & Janine Hayes a tremendous success. The Philadelphia poetry community's generosity has come through once again. Thanks to all of you who came.
Carol Mirakove read from Mediated, which is part of a larger piece forthcoming that I can't wait to read. Carol has the honored distinction of reading more in the Highwire/La Tazza/Night Flag Series than any other poet. Last Saturday she reminded us why.
CAConrad read from The Frank Poems, some of which were golden oldies to someday be published by Jonathan Williams, & others that are brand new poems conjured from recent dream states. He railed against the vilification of Kate Moss & won a heckler over mid-way through the reading.
Upcoming Reading:
October 29- Lee Ann Brown & Brett Evans
Take care,
Frank Sherlock
