Radio On!!

Hey, guess what! They let me be on Prosody. Crazy, right? Anyway, you
can listen in tonight at 7pm on 91.3 WYEP on the FM dial to hear what
kind of silly things I said about poetry n'at. And yeah, I read a few
of your favorites from my vast oeuvre (assuming, that is, you have
favorites from my vast oeuvre of nonsense). Thanks to the wonderful
Renee Alberts for inviting me on the show and hosting as I nervously
stumble through her questions. Honestly, it's almost like I never
actually think about how or why I write these things. You can also
stream the show at www.wyep.org

And if that wasn't enough, tune in to 88.3 WRCT on the ol' FM tomorrow
night, Thursday March 31st, as Low Ghost Press takes over A Live Show,
produced by Jason Baldinger. An amazing group of poets will be joining
me to read poems of love, sex, and other bodily notions. Featured
poesy slingers include Scott Silsbe, Angele Ellis, Bob, Pajich, Jerome
Crooks, Taylor Grieshober, Margaret Bashaar, and our conductor/DJ for
the evening, Holly Coleman. Place bets on which one of us makes Jason
use the delay button first! You can also stream this live at
www.wrct.org

Radio on!

from "Glass City":

talking love with a seven-year-old

some boy gave her
a lollipop

she whispered
in my ear

asked me
if i ever had
a girlfriend

when i was younger

i told her no
that the girls never
seemed to like me

although i always
thought that i was
a nice enough
guy

she seemed
to accept that
answer

odd

how i still
haven't

Look for more Low Ghost releases in 2011!
