Kelly Bones Jones reads her poems at The Shadowbox Theatre as part of her final exam in Carolyn Hembree’s poetry workshop. Things like this make me extremely happy to be a part of the University of New Orleans’s Creative Writing Workshop. These are talented folks. If you need proof, watch the video of Jonathan Brown performing his piece.

Denise and all the other readers killed it at Gold Room last night, despite the ever-looming prospect of being eaten by the scavenging coyote seen here making her way behind the bar.

Ever since the last Poetry Potluck I went to, I’ve been eager to get back to another one. I finally made it tonight to hear lots of good poetry, including that of featured poet Paul Allen. Click here for a video of him reading his poem “Admit.”

I read a piece at Gold Room tonight that, as you can tell from my preacher’s garb, may have gotten a little bit gimmicky. Click here for the video. Thanks to everyone who showed up, even if it was just to eat some $1 tacos and watch the basketball game behind me.

Melissa Remark reads her fiction at the first Gold Room since November. Hats off to everyone who came out for the readings while still hungover from Mardi Gras. Join us at Handsome Willy’s on March 22 for the next Gold Room. If I can get something written, I’ll be reading nonfiction.

The new issue of Bayou Magazine is the best in its history. (Congratulations to its editors, Melissa and Carrie.) Also, it includes a poem by Michael Inscoe, who is probably my favorite poet in the world.
