The delicious featured poet was NicoleK who just jumped into her poems with little introduction, beginning with "My Dog Fred." The dilemmas of dating & waiting in cafes were hot topics. She also shared some poems from her "everything is so fucked series". And we discovered how much she likes the word "delicious" -- "Waiting is Delicious" & "Ice Cream is Fucking Delicious" are 2 examples. Tasty, I say.We are used to hearing Mimi Moriarty's poems about her father, but tonight it was her mother, with "Hymn of the Moth" & "Photo from a Daughter's Wedding." Alan Catlin read 2 poems with the same title "Looking Out a Dirty Window at Nothing at All," the first about his mother alone in Manhattan, the second about the dark, urban sights out a bus window.
Matt Galletta was back with one quirky piece, "There's So Much We Haven't Planned For." Kristen Day read 2 favorites, "Food Court," & "The Elvis Connection." My 2 poems were the still-hand-written "The Cardinal" & the old "Shaker Hymn." Bob Sharkey "Suddenly" saw a deer on Peebles Island, & the 5th in his "PTSD" series, "The Sergeant."
Don Levy read 2 new poems, "Isn't it Bromantic" & the one he read earlier in the month at Valentine's, "Everything's Coming Up Showtunes for Me & for You."
Join Don every second Wednesday at the GLCC on Hudson Ave. in Albany, bring a couple poems & hang out.
