I say it every time we have one of these readings--I am so lucky to be in the presence of such wonderful, talented writers. Once again, another enthusiastic crowd for the NEWS Reading Series.
I read a few poems from my manuscript. I've had better readings--it's something I need to practice. But everyone else was great, and it was a lot of fun.
it's funny you say that, a few days ago, jill and i fantasized about a road trip to crash one of your readings. we didn't know if new yorkers were allowed to read, but we didn't care ... we'd be happy just to watch.
and i haven't read poetry out loud since college. only in writing groups, not "on stage" and not with a microphone. (maybe you'd have to have the paramedics on standby.)
One of these days, you'll have to come down and read in MA. But you could start your own series in your area. It's not that hard, especially if you have a partner--you and Jill make a great team.

You should read with us in 2008.
