The scheduled events will be Reading nights or afternoons dedicated to Hope, Love and Romance (no slam poetry, angry rants or dark works allowed). They will be open microphone kind-of events, featuring my work but also that of local poets, writers, singers and other creatives. I will host and share, but I also want to inspire others and hear what they have to say.
It will be about sharing more than just reading, informal venues and close friends. My first edition is handbound and very intimate, so I only want to share with the people I can touch in person. I know, this is very different and unlike traditional Poetry Readings, but that is the way that feels right. So if you want to help, let’s find a cool venue in your area and we can have some fun.
I am not an “intellectual”. I am a man open to whispers. I write them down and share them with everyone, not just some elite group (ok, well my friends are a pretty elite group, but individually for unique beauty and openness).
Through my little songs, I find a great way to express myself, conveying in short stories of rhyme the wisdom I have come upon in my days. The first edition of my book, in fact, has no barcode or isbn number. It is an intimate collection of my deepest feelings and is meant to be shared with those I touch directly, not to be left sitting on some shelf, gathering dust in it’s lost moment.
A typical evening schedule might include a ten minute introduction and reading of a couple pieces of mine, then 45 minutes of short readings by locals, then a few more by me, a 15 minute Q & A, a half hour of signing and socializing. And that’s it for the formal reading.
To be scheduled into the local readings for the night, log onto the website and send us a copy of your writing that you’d like to share. Otherwise, bring it that night and we will schedule you in. We will be limited by schedule, though, so submitting early will assure that you are allowed to share during the formal part of the evening. Please limit your works to no more than 500 words, or 5 minutes of reading, speaking or singing.
Find your passion. Follow it to your conclusion. Breathe. Laugh. Be.
