Spring Equinox Reading: 3/28/13 @ ModernFormations


For those of you within hailing distance, come on out tomorrow (Thursday) night to ModernFormations Gallery when The Friends of Lilliput Review will present a Spring Equinox Reading

Featured readers are Robert Isenberg, Renée Alberts, Kris Collins, Angele Ellis, and yours truly.  Admission is $5 or FREE w/ a covered dish (BYOB)

Aside from the dazzling lyrical entertainment, there will be, as a friend noted, FREE SWAP, in this case the just released new issues of Lilliput Review:


  

So, if you can, come on out and help an awesome bunch of rag-tag poets usher in one hell of a reluctant spring.

A Reading

Hemingway's Reading
 


Since I began reading again, after a 20 plus year layoff, a number of folks not local to Pittsburgh - old friends, poetry folks, casual acquaintances - have expressed an interest in hearing me read my work live. The only previous  recordings are an anonymous round robin reading on the radio last fall on WRCT, via Speed & Briscoe Press, and a reading from Hemingway's way back in 1987, before I found my medium and voice, if you will.

Until now.

The above Hemingway's reading link is an mp3 of a brief reading - about 7 minutes total - I did at Hemingway's Bar here in Pittsburgh back on July 26th. So, for those uninterested, please pardon the indulgence. For all others, hope you enjoy.

Thanks again to Joan and Jimmy for the invite, and Joan's friend Don for the fine recording.

"A Night at the Bar" - Speed & Briscoe reading 11/11/10


To hear last Thursday nights Speed & Briscoe reading on CMU's WRCT radio station, click here, click regular download, then click the text "Speed and Briscoe Nov 11 2010.mp3."  

The theme of the reading was "A Night at the Bar" and featured the work of Carrie Shaley, Kris Collins, Jason Baldinger, Nikki Allen, Jerome Crooks, Lucy Goubert, Renee Alberts, and Don Wentworth.

Initially, we came up a little short on time, so hang in till the very end, past what seems to be the sign off, for a couple of final poems.

The reading was lots of fun, two standing mikes, a circle of poets, with revolving containers of libations, some strong original voices, all ably orchestrated by Red Bob, engineered by Tina Milo, and generously coordinated by poet and publisher, Jerome Crooks of Speed & Briscoe fame.

best,
Don
