Joe's Life - Poetry Adventures

January 2022

January 11: As I recall, I attended the October 27, 2020 meeting of Write & Release Spoken Word and enjoyed it. And I read my poem. Thank you all--it was a nice event.
January 12: I signed up within the last hour before the event. If I can get in, I will read Mauled.

I got in! Thank you, Randy. And I read my poem. It was a worthwhile poetry event--I'm glad I attended.

November 2020

November 10: I selected a poem to read. This recently edited poem sprung from words written in my notebook in 1981: Help Me to Stay Awake.

October 2020

October 22: I attended a meeting of Virtual Palabra at 7:00PM (hosted by La Bodega Gallery) and heard Jon Wesick read his poetry. Thank you, Jon!

At the open mic which followed I enjoyed hearing many others read, and I read as well. I read my poem Fear of Ants.
October 25, 2:32PM: I'm looking forward to today's online meeting of Poets at the Bench (at 3:00PM), as we will hear featured poet Red Medusa read her poetry.

Also there will be an open mic afterwards. I plan to read my poem Twirling Darling. (This poem is about my wife when we first met. She was a baton twirler and a Sophomore in high school. I was a Senior.)

6:25PM: It was a great meeting, and I heard some good poetry. Thanks to host Deborah Ramos for putting this on!
October 27: I plan to attend the Write & Release Spoken Word event on Wednesday November 11 at 11:30AM PDT. (See the Recurring Events link on the left for details.) As it will be followed by an open mic, I am thinking about what I will read.

Featured writers are Anne Caldwell and Matthew Hedley Stoppard.
