Getting caught up here ...
Last Wednesday I went to a local Poets Against the War reading. It was an interesting experience, if only so I could see a coffeehouse I hadn't been to yet -- Brewed Awakenings -- and get a good taste of the non-academic side of modern poetry. Unfortunately I don't find it any more suited to my tastes than the modern stuff I've been reading, but at least it was a good exposure for me.
I was hoping Bridgette would come to the reading -- I'd e-mailed her about it -- but either I left before she came, or there really weren't more than seven parking spots for the whole damn building. At least my representative, the wildly cool Marcy Kaptur, was at the big gathering in Washington, D.C., upping her in my books even more than she already was. I guess the prospect of war soon, combined with some of the stuff I've been doing in Spectrum lately, has my political senses tingling again. More on that later.
