I wrote this while waiting to be called to the open mike during the New Year's Day Alternate Poetry Extravaganza at the Bowery Poetry Club. And if I wasn't the second reader it might have been longer!! This year the event was called Ex Tenebris Rising. This annual event has some 150 poets plus open mike readers and each gets an egalitarian 3 minute slot.
The art work is ALWAYS fantastic and this year they outdid themselves. I wish I had the name of the artist. I would include it here too. My fellow Shijin member Robin E. Sampson weilded my camera for this video.
Brave to get up there - great job!
