Conversation, Spoken Word, Music
and Online Poetry Reading

Every first Wednesday of the month, 8 pm EST

Why come to a poetry reading?

* Poetry out loud is different from poetry on
a page. It comes more alive, for me, anyway.

What can you expect?

* Some poetry reading, some music

* Talk about the writings -
like, how did they come to be?

* A look at all kinds of questions,
like, why write this kind of thing anyway?

* Time for your questions.

- A Question -
Why read stuff like poetry?

What can it do for you,
to listen to and read stuff like
spoken word and poetry?

Most of us would love more richness,
depth, intensity, passion, tranquility -
more aliveness - in our lives.

Oprah has enough going on in her life.
But she keeps reading, including poetry.

Why?

Good writing brings us to other worlds,
sometimes moments we've never lived,
sometimes moments we've forgotten,
sometimes things we've felt
but didn't have the words for.

Poetry can add to our lives.

And why do I write
spoken word poetry?

I didn't set out to write poetry -
or spoken word, as I tend to call my stuff.

But years ago, at the end
of a love relationship
that was important to me,
I found myself waking up with words
going through my head.
Songs, poems, spoken word pieces.

But why poetry, of all things?

Who knows?

I've always loved creativity of all kinds.
Grief somehow opened me to a flow of poetry.
The flow of words, so unexpected,
has ebbed at times, but never stopped.

More on, why stuff like poetry?

Some people are pulled to figure skating.
Some are pulled to complex mathematics.
Somehow I've been pulled to stuff like poetry.
