Rick Lupert reading at Mindy Nettifee's "The Ladies Have the Floor" event

Barry McLaughlin (PondWater)

April 10, 2010 PondWater Society Event

This was so different from anything that we’ve done that I think I’ll tell you about it with photos.  Barry McLaughlin (also known as Barry Holiday) came and wowed us with trivial fun, games and prizes!

It all started very quietly. You can see the unfinished Poetry Machine sitting expectantly [...]

Brendan Constantine (PondWater Society)

+ Jamey Hecht as an added bonus!

These poets, who I have admittedly invited in, are smashing me.  I cannot tell you how much joy that brings to me.  They come in all nice and polite.   They mingle and converse and banter and fraternize.  And then the next thing you know, they have taken over the room!  [...]

Brendan Constantine & Jamey Hecht (PondWater Society)

Funny things can happen when you turn your living room into a Poetry Salon. Initially its a very simple transformation; remove the furniture, replace it with a roomful of folding chairs and little tables with cloths and candles. Add a table for literature and a music stand for a podium and there you have [...]

Jamey Hecht

Introductions by Sava Hecht

I didn’t take one photograph.  I was so enjoying the company and the readings that at one point I thought “oh forget it, I’m just going to live this and not document it”.  Does that make sense?  In order to take good photographs you have to be involved [...]
