Many thanks to Wade Fletcher and Joe Hall for inviting me to read at Cheryl's Gone, and to my co-readers, James Belflower and Laura Ellen Scott. I had a wonderful time -- the atmosphere at Big Bear Cafe was laid-back and friendly, the audience receptive, and I got to read some brand new poems. It's always a little frightening to try out something squeaky and untested, but it all went well. I had that little reading high you get after it's all over and no one has thrown any tomatoes.

Speaking of readings, tomorrow brings us the new installment of In Your Ear. This month, we're featuring Ken Jacobs and Todd Colby. Come on down! Here's the details--
