Second Friday Reading at Gemini Ink

The end of the semester and the hangover from National Poetry Month have me feeling all William Carlos Williamsish,

                    ”Lifeless in appearance, sluggish

                    dazed spring approaches—”

And heck, since spring last all of three day around here, I should probably revise this to say something about the fist of summer on the horizon.  

All that said, I am still very excited about the last reading of this busy season.  I’ll be reading with my Trinity University colleague, Andrew Porter, and with the memoirist, poet and critic Paul Christensen.  Details below.

Friday, May 9 @ Gemini Ink, 513 S. Presa, 6:30 pm

New review of The Second Reason

Thanks to Roberto Bonazzi for this generous review in Sunday’s San Antonio Express News

National Poetry Month

San Antonio is hopping with poetry this month!  The Office of Cultural Affairs has a complete calendar of events.  Poems about birds, poems and vegetarian food, haiku hikes and free copies of The Wasteland.  What’s not to love? Check it out.

And, if you are in Austin this weekend, also check out The Blanton Museum’s Poetry Project

The kickoff event is Sunday from 1-4. 

I’ll be reading a new poem about this painting.
