Recorded by Paul Richmond for the National Beat Poetry Foundation on 29 August 2025 at Canton Town Hall in Collinsville, Connecticut. Introduction by Virginia Shreve. I was one of 20 Beat Poets Laureate who read that night and I shared two poems: "Bully for You" and "Aim High," both written for the Tupelo Press 30/30 in March 2025 (a few months before the death of my biological father, which I referenced in the introduction to my second poem).
