+ Ellyn’s Band! PondWater Society event July 10, 2010 Ellyn Maybe & Tommy Jordan I’ve seen Ellyn Maybe & her band at a number of events and also when they had their residency at 212 in Santa Monica. Every single time, I find myself grinning like a maniac, I just get so excited by the music and [...] May 8, 2010 PondWater Society Event Rick Lupert reading at Mindy Nettifee's "The Ladies Have the Floor" event Rick Lupert came here one time. You might not believe this, but he really did. He came in through the back door and scared the crap out of me. I mean, you know, you’re sitting [...] + 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! [...] February 13, 2010 The Guinea Hen – go ahead and click, she'll get bigger and look down on you. Well, I wondered how long it would take for the guinea hen to reach a comfort level with poetry readings and feel it was safe to attend one.

You know its always going to be a drive, right? Once you surrender to that, your options are phenomenal and “The Lightbulb Mouth Radio Hour” is [...] Timothy Green reading at the December PondWater Society event. I don’t know how or why I’m getting away with this but I’ll tell you, it does feel like I’m getting away with something. Jamey Hecht, Jenny Noa, Brendan Constantine, Timothy Green and next month Douglas Kearney. Really? I need someone to punch me in the head [...] 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 [...] October 10, 2009 Event Jamey 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 [...] Timothy Green and Jamey Hecht at the Barnes & Noble in Santa Monica The Barnes & Noble on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica looks like a nice enough place when you first enter. Seems quite civilized. Unless you are a human being with bodily functions that need to be addressed. No bathrooms for the [...] Why did I write a poem about the Menendez brothers? Because the LA Times was having a poetry contest at some point in 1992 and I was feeling ballsy that day. The contest rules told me to write three poems about LA. So I gave them my Los Angeles triptych; three poems, one about the Menendez brothers, [...] |
