Object Poems (Opening, Exhibition, Performance)

Geof Huth, "ATE," An Object Poem in Development (11 October 2011)Because I don't know how to stay in one place, I'm flying to Portland, Oregon, on November 4th, so I can be at the opening of an exhibition of object poems that will include some of mine. On the 5th, I'll be part of a poetry reading, though I always call these performances, since I read some, but not all, of the poems I perform. It will be good to be back in Oregon, the birthplace of my great-grandmother, one of them, born in the Willamette Valley, one of the two places where good pinot noir grapes can be grown.
Here are the real details. Oh, and the poem above isn't finished. It won't be in the show. I'm glad I didn't have to ship such a heavy item across the country.
