New twist: the museum where we have been running our workshop is having a little catered shindig to mark the end of the exhibit, and we poets are going to be reading from our work!
This will be my first time reading my poetry in front of an audience, or really, in front of anyone. I’ve given talks this spring to two groups of about a hundred people each, and I’ve taught hundreds of times, and some of those times I’ve been teaching poetry. But my own? In front of strangers? Yikes. This also means I have to choose one of my poems. Yikes, redux.
It does seem like one more justification for officially calling myself a poet, though. Right?
!!!!!!
Expect more thrilled and anxious blogging between now and June 5th!
