    Reading at the Gaines Center for The Heartland Review

    I had me a some big fun at the reading last night. Mick Kennedy and Ted Higgs know how to put on a laid-back event. And let me tell you, if you don’t know these poets, I suggest you look ‘em up.

    With Laurie MacKellar, we comprise the editorial board, poetry division, of The Heartland Review. I’m proud to be associated with this group and urge you to send us your best work.

    (I’m not sure about the deer-in-the-headlights look in the photo. I look like I’m seeing some of the demons from my own poems.)

    OCTOBER 22!! Mark your calendars for The Heartland Review’s poetry reading at the University of Kentucky’s Gaines Center for the Humanities from 7:00-8.30pm, 232 E. Maxwell St. Featured readers are Scott Woodham, Yvonne Morris, Ted Higgs, David Harrity, Erin Keane and yours truly. The event is free and open to the public.

    Sheesh! I forgot the date. Am I ditzy or what?

    You also get that look sometimes (sans specs) right before you say something funny. Congratulations on the reading. Wish I could have been there. (I’ll write this weekend. Promise.) /ro

    Ro!!!!! Oh I’m so glad to hear from you.

    And I love that you watch my expressions that closely. We don’t know our own faces.

    Don’t you like the way I blend with the wallpaper?

What I'm Doing...

  • In the dark of the moon, a deep black sky, the dipper tips a libation over our roofbeam. 13 hrs ago
  • The eastern horizon glows like the embers of a sacred fire. Chattering songbirds call for day. To the south, a dove mourns. 1 day ago
  • Drizzle is a miserable word. The heavens lower, my mood is dour. A little spring and I would sing. The sun would turn me carefree as a bird. 3 days ago
  • I open the back door and the wren flies at shin level. Is she nesting on the porch? Our cats are old but not that old. 5 days ago
