Coming Soon - Stick Poet Interview

I am presently working on my next poetry interview. I hope to wrap of the editing and be ready to post it soon. I'll be announcing the subject of this interview on Tuesday. I have to tell you I have enjoyed this interview. The person I've chosen is quite interesting and has what I believe is a very balanced and interesting set of life-interests.

It should be ready to post sometime this week if all goes well so stay tuned. Tuesday I'll let the cat out of the bag. Oh come on, I have to build a little excitement.

The Doctor is in...

Your Energy is Purple. You are a visionary with
unmatched intuition and spiritual
consciousness. The mystical world and
unexplainable forces fascinate you. There
resides in you a true dignity and nobility, and
others see you as a worthy leader, and loyal
friend. You are often very mature, with a deep
understanding of human nature, and you will
instinctively encourage and guide others toward
their full potential.

You find it natural to express yourself
aesthetically and artistically, you may be
involved in the artistic professions, a
religious organization, or in activities that
have a degree of ceremony and ritual. You would
make a good therapist, healer, psychic, or
entrepreneur.


What color is your energy?

It's A Crime Against Nature....

Michaela Cooper brings us this ditty. It may not look like it, but it is the 21st Century in Rhea County Tennessee where the County Commissioners voted 8-0 to request that lawmakers to amend state law so the county can charge homosexuals with crimes against nature.
This is the county which held the famous Monkey trial. Whoa... am I awake?

Happy St. Patrick's Day

To the Irish... "Happy St. Patrick's Day" and to those who are just a wee-bit Irish today, well "Happy wee-bit day too!"

I attended a reading last night of Gloria Vando. This was not my first and hopefully there will be many others. The lady is sensational. Not only her written work, I especially enjoy her delivery when reading. Gloria has a soft-spoken but firm voice that carries her work well. She enunciates with such force and her way of intertwining the English language with Porto Rican and other Latin words is soothing to the ears.

Also reading, was Philip Miller. His reading was enjoyable. I like his written work as well. His delivery was strong and enjoyable.

Gloria Vando Tomorrow

Gloria is a wonderful local poet that has a reputation that goes well beyond the Kansas City area. She can be seen tomorrow evening....

March 16, Gloria Vando & Phil Miller: Reading, The Writers Place Reading Series, Johnson County Resource Library, 9875 West 87th Street, Overland Park, KS, 7:00 p.m.
