Poets Win, Hands Down!

While I can't say the Typewriter Girls show God vs. Poet went off without a hitch, I can say that all the talent was completely stunning. I thought my little godly wings might fly me away into twilight with all the happy poetry goodness.

Met Mary B and found out not only is she an amazing poet, but also a rather talented dancer and budding comedian. Plus she has adorable shoes. Dan Shapiro totally rocked my socks both with his easy stage presence, serious poetics and series of monkey-themed writings. Both of these talented writers will be appearing in issue one of Weave - so excited! Jason Kirin also blew me away, per usual, with his delivery, insights and style. And of course, my part time lover (in my mind) Michelle Stoner has poise, grace and humor in all she does. You can (and should!) buy her book of poetry, Flats and Riots at Barnes and Noble, Powell's or Amazon.

I also have to say that I had an amazing time dressing up in a rather short skirt, fairy wings and a fishnets while playing GOD and reading bible passages. Only at a Typewriter Girls show!

I wish I had time to check it out, Laura! I had to drive back Sunday night. I'm there a lot though so maybe some other time!

Best of luck with the first issue of Weave, pretty cool that you had so much material that you were able to close submissions so early!

Take care Laura!
