We have a back cover for the CD!

It's not final-final but close. If you hate it please call me right now! 518/364-6813. I have pics of myself that might work better but they were too low a resolution. This one fits my poem "Heron" but that poem isn't on the album. Really, I need another album right away. SO, all feedback embraced. Once you hear it let me know what you like and don't. Two of the pieces seem over-produced to me, and Esther says she can't hear the words on parts of "First Date."

Of course you all will receive the album once I have it. Some time in July looks like.

Who knew self-addressed envelopes could be so exciting!

One each day the last three days. Each one a vote of confidence. I'm so grateful and inspired.

Thank you

Already a contribution, with a neat historical card, comes in from the update letter I just mailed out. Inspiration motivation excitation!

So today I'm working on turning my piece "Dear Young People" into a group piece. The team likes the idea. We meet to practice today at 5. I'll come with print outs of the poem -- scripts for each poet. A Team piece is like a mini drama. Four people, three minutes, one theme. Wish me luck!

Here's text of the one-person version. I figure any time you end a poem with "Judi Dench told me" you're good.

We have a front cover for the CD!

Back cover still in progress. Will post soon. 

WordxWord 2015

I qualified last night to slam in the WordxWord finals in August. The teen slammers were in on the show too but will have a separate finals in August. This will be my 3rd year doing WordXWord and I always enjoy it. I love how multi-generational the night was.
