My first live poetry reading in over two years!
Hi! This is going to be the first live poetry reading I've participated in (or attended) in over two years (because of Covid and me feeling uncomfortable in groups etc...) and I am really looking forward to it, despite my nerves! Saturday August 13 from 4-7!
I miss live poetry groups, Uncloistered Poetry is fabulous, this is an outdoor patio event (weather permitting), and I'm very excited to hear Dan Denton and Bob Phillips read their poetry again and to hear Robin Mullet's poetry for the first time and to hear all kinds of different people in the Open Mic!
Now I just have to finish deciding which poems to read. Probably mostly new ones filled with self-deprecation, seizures, and other disturbances, and maybe one or two of me and Darryl's collaborative poems about nasty fair(y) tails and violence and chickens...
Thank you very much to Jonie McIntire and Uncloistered Poetry for inviting me to be a part of this reading!

Rats chewed through our foundation - the cadavers of all the women - the DNA particles from a lost love rise up in the feathers and re-break her heart - the crazy girl I thought I was rid of - The mother asked her daughter if she’d like to adopt another doll - The girl said she wanted one without a head - Some days I walk in the alcove between my face and my skull - Sometimes I feel like executing my brain - pages loved now crumbled - It’s no use thinking - I knew the answer before the question was asked - It wasn’t the first time I was murdered - I’m out to sea in a hurricane - the serial killer in your epiglottis sent down to the acid pit - suspicious of everyone - (the ones who are still speaking to me).
