(let's drop that decorative "-ess" stuff, shall we?)<br />she brought up the first reader of the night: justin marks. justin was<br />teased from the audience about the "penetrating" devices in his poetry <br />(a word from one of the poems, thrown back at him); to his credit, he <br />called our attention also to its, and i quote, "multiple points of <br />entry" (also from his poem). : ) he gave us a straight ahead, funny <br />reading of mostly new work from his manuscript-seeking-a-publisher. (i <br />didn't catch the name of the ms., but some lucky publisher will make it <br />known to us all.) good stuff!<br /><br />ms. amy had to dash off to a conflicting engagement, so passed the baton<br />(aka the MiPO tape recorder) to the dimpl-icious shanna compton. shanna<br />called to the stage the second reader: kate greenstreet. woo-hoo!!! <br />kate got herself situated with the mic and then treated us to a reading <br />of the whole first chapbook/section of *case sensitive.* i loved <br />hearing her poet-voice; the section she read was the only section<br />of her book i had read prior to the reading, as it happens, and it was<br />great to see what she did with it. she's not a consistent respecter of<br />her own line breaks, fyi. and if you thought some of those lines were<br />funny, you were right -- they are. she read amy into one of her poems<br />("She seems young to know so much.") and got a nearly full audience<br />consensus on her observation about ghosts (what they "have in common: /<br />they always want to tell you how they died."). we were all charmed (i<br />speak for everyone present).<br /><br />finally, shanna lovely shanna introduced the final reader, janet holmes, <br />as her "hero." (yay for dropping the decorative "-ine"!!!) we all <br />cheered. janet read from her new book (which i was delighted to snatch <br />a copy of for myself, sans shipping and handling fees), called "f2f," <br />which everyone who's anyone (online, that is -- not including me, before <br />tonight) knows stands for "face to face," as her cover illustrates. she <br />is a most expressive and captivating reader -- high energy and working <br />the multiplicity of meanings in her phrases. she's got all these great <br />dyads from mythology, literary history, and literary theory operating in <br />her poem as a kind of scaffolding / plot device: couples such as eros <br />and psyche, emily dickinson and her audience, eurydice and orpheus, and <br />"you" and "i" (the reader and the writer, so to speak). i loved her <br />reading (not to mention the hot little black sweater-dress she was <br />wearing -- yes, the 80s are back, damnit, and you'd better love it!!), <br />and got halfway through f2f on the way home, and i say to you "go forth <br />and get your copy today! and while you're at it, get your copy of case <br />sensitive, too! and consider yourself lucky to be living in the era of <br />such fine poets!" and i won't say it again.<br /><br />but there you have it.<br /><br />peace,<br />evie shockleyAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08195202743154382432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25634499.post-1162083809275465782006-10-28T17:56:00.000-07:002006-10-28T18:03:29.330-07:00Reb Livingston!<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/amyking/281573539/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/86/281573539_e989891cd1_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em;
