Video: Some Brand New Poetry Readings Direct To Camera

But there at the top you have a video poem, I’m reading Summerslam, 1988 — a piece from early in the book. A scene-setter I guess.

This Friday, Feb 21, I am taking some of these poems, and many more, and performing them on stage with a band. If you buy a ticket, all the money will be donated to Women’s Refuge. Just $10 a ticket.

You can even watch some rehearsal footage to get an idea of how it’s going to sound:
