Stain Reading featuring Yours Truly - See You There


What a lineup.  I'm a little demured.  As a long time fan of Adam, Nada, Scott, Chris, and Julian, I can say with confidence that this will be another wonderful Stain of Poetry reading--even with me in the lineup.

Please support your fellow poets and drop by.  A huge thanks to Amy King and Ana Bozicevic for the invite.

Please, if you come, be prepared to participate.  I'll need at least 2 volunteers who can project.
