This is my short set from last Friday night’s QUIET LIGHTNING VI. Did I mention it was a gas reading with Stephen Elliot, Sara Fran Wisby, Michelle Tea, Daphne Gottlieb, Jon Longhi, MG Martin, AP Nelson, Jennifer Joseph, Nic Alea, Joshua Mohr, and Beth Lisick.
30 poems in 30 days for the month of April?
I’m not gonna complain for only making 26 new poems (many of which SUCK!!) I get that’s not the point of 30 in 30. It’s been incredibly valuable to me to have this exercise; this campaign if you will.
Big shout out/thank you to Daphne Gottlieb for informing me of this month-long exercise. I think it was pretty good for her too. She took time out from a maniacal outpouring of words to ask me if I was doing the 30 in 30 Challenge and I got that perplexed crease in my brow and promptly asked “What’s that?”
Now each and every April now, I will not forget that! Now we’ll see if we can get this sweet creative outpouring to translate into some productive fiction for the month of May…something else I just learned! Can’t they have a monthly newsletter for tortured prose writers somewhere?
