I forgot to document the Mansfield multi-feature with Joanna and some others. I went third fourth and Joanna fifth and Ray McNiece took over the open mic portion.

I read:

Nothing
Asparagus
Windows
Fuck Unhappy Endings
Sesquipedalian

That set was going to look even more like the Mt. Vernon set but I became more and more interested in doing different poems from that. Plus it was running long.

schroderjt and I were so hot in Mt. Vernon last Tuesday we've been asked to go up and do it all over again in Mansfield on Friday.

Buddy Ray McNeice will be there too, I hear.

Now that is a nice reading -- 4th Tuesdays at Sips Coffeehouse in Mt. Vernon run by Mark Hersman. Tonight was a nearly perfect night for that venue, as far as I am concerned. Mark kept it very tight -- that's because he had four poets, two musicians, and an open mic. All this in a venue that hadn't cleared out the rotary club in time for him to set up. Still, impromptu set up was nicely done.

Four women poets read. First half: Carolyn Dandilides and me. Second half: Susan Hendrickson and Joanna Schroeder.

I read these poems -- none of which had been read in my two previous sets there:

100 Times
The Beauty of Being Adopted
Your Poem
Last Thought
Fuck Unhappy Endings
Sesquipedalian

I kind of messed up Sesquipedalian, but saved it -- I think. After I read, there was a break during which I sold out in no time flat. Love that reading. Such a positive place.

Susan Hendrickson brought out some good craft. I really liked a couple of hers.

Joanna rocked her set. I had heard all her poems before (and she mine), but it was like I was hearing them anew.

And now it is late enough for a bath and bed. My throat is scratchy, and me with no strawberry milkshakes on hand.
