Poetry, Music, and Food: Tuesday October 18th

Hi all,
A little shameless self-promotion. Red Hills Review and C'era Una Volta (one of my very favorite Italian restaurants on the planet) are hosting a poetry reading and were nice enough to ask me to read. So I'm bustin' out my top hat and cane and I thought I'd use this old web site to spread the word.

I'll be reading various poems and related shtick along with two great east bay poets -- Julia Park and Andy Crockett. We'll try to keep it light 'n breezy. Except for the part where we suddenly, unexpectedly strike a nerve and you begin to weep and weep and weep some more. And then, just as suddenly: back to the shtick!

John Wright, a good pal of mine and an outstanding musician, will be starting the evening off with world-class acoustic guitar.

If you're in the area, we'd love to see ya there.

Here's the information:

Date and time: Tuesday, October 18th, 7 pm
Place: C'era Una Volta
Address: 1332 Park St. Alameda (call the restaurant at 510.769.4828 or just ask me for directions)
Admission: Free as the day is long. And the day is long.

  • What's shameless about promoting such a great event? Especially when the wine and eats are FREE? Deathmarchers, I'll look for you all in the buffet line. Oh, and the poetry will be terrific too--I haven't heard Cecil read a dull one yet. See you there!

  • I'd like to congrats ya, but I got very sick their, I had iambic pentameter repeat on me with the pasta sauce, I was very ill on the toilet reading Italian renaissance and having come out every orfice.

  • Thanks Rodney! (I should say, I think there will actually be free eats, but I believe the grape will likely be bought 'n sold. The walk in the door, though? For that no coin shall pass.)

    As for the imp: perhaps it weren't the pentameter what stewed yer juice. Perhaps it were the pipes. Yer pipes, if get the snap.

    Flush with a pint of free verse I sez, and you'll be all set almost to right.
