so, I did a thing last night. I read from my book and talked about poetry, these poems and life in general to a group of about ten people. I think it went well and I appreciated the love and support from people who knew how important this was to me.
I wrote a book. Yes. After around 60 years of saying and dreaming I did it. I have read one or two poems at local open mikes but this was all .. me. Talking about me and my process and my history.
I think it went ok.
Several people asked "what next?" I don't know, but this morning I thought I would start writing more poems. I started THIS blog to write every day and maybe I should spend more time doing just that- this blog plus poetry every day.
I think I will start a personal blog for my poetry and see where it takes me, sharing here when I think it is appropriate.
My book is available on Amazon, but the Friends of the Los Feliz Library bought a batch, I have them so if you want one, hit me up. Donation goes back to the Friends $11 bucks.
This one can be signed by me ( lol)
