FESTIVAL SUPREME: Circus of Death
This is supposed to be a big deal. I’m first up on the smallest stage.

I am honored to be included in the autumn edition
of Klipschutz’s exquisitely wrought Four-by-Two series.
It can be found (and ordered) here: http://www.fourbytwo.org/
I will be among the twenty more (or less) ‘outstanding poets’
reading at the Long Beach Poetry Festival. Sat Oct 18th, 5pm
Bungalow Building 727 N Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA
I reluctantly agreed to participate in this event,
and I’m sure I’ll have cause to regret it.
