Video of Last Night's SpoFest Event

If you missed last night's SpoFest Poetry and Prose reading, here's the video. Many thanks to James Bryant, Jose Faus, Rick C. Christiansen and featured poets Su Flatt, Judy Turek and Polly Alice McCann. All three of your readings were phenomenal. It was an honor and pleasure reading with you.

The poems I read all come from my book Rattle and Numb: Selected and New Poems, 1992-2019, published by Venetian Spider Press. I had been avoiding reading "Lens" and "Unfounded" for the past two years until this event. My entire set list:

Round 1:

Lens

Round 2:

Unfinished

Pullet

A Wrinkle in Time

Round 3:

Kiss

Slipping Backwards into Blue Eden

Rough Cure

Unfounded
