Here's a brief recap of last Tuesday's reading at Rebound Books in San Rafael.
I read about 8 poems and was the last scheduled reader before a short open mike.
The other readers were
Sam Doctors
Laurel Feigenbaum
Jennifer Gennari
Barbara Mackowiak
all of whom were quite different and quite good.
Sam Doctors' work is something between cynical and whimsical, with a focus on philosophy and nature. You can find more of it at lulu.com.
Laurel read poems of observation and experience, including a lovely piece about Mary in Renaissance annunciation paintings another one about Donatello's David.
Jennifer and I seem to share an interest in writing about the natural world and our responses to it. She's also part of a local poetry group that reads monthly at a coffee shop in Novato, and I hope to hear more of her work in the future.
Barbara's poetry reminded me of what I love about Kay Ryan. Smart poems, a little quirky and philosophical and full of surprises.
For future readings, see the schedule here.
