Guest Poet x 2!!

On Monday, CaLokie and I spent the morning as Guest Poets for four 8th grade classes in the school library.

I performed my new poem In Junior High (from my cellphone) and poems from this collection (Back to the Future, Bamboo Discipline, French Toast, Green, and Wanna Go With Me?), 

Yesterday, for the 17th consecutive year, I visited Mrs. Guarino's Creative Writing class...

...where I read them poems from my new chapbook (Human Minds, Nimbus, In Junior High, Force, Allusive Sights, and When Doves Cry Prince Dies)

Publication Reading & Party!!

Yesterday afternoon at the Santa Catalina Branch Library in Pasadena ten copies each were distributed to eight of the ten poets published here, then they read two or three poems from the book.

That same evening poets published in the APR were given their copies in the sumptuous backyard of the editor, Thelma T. Reyna.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this tome for hours!
