Sorry to hassle you all with another boring apolitical post, but you might want to consider attending the Ducky Waddle's Poetry Ruckus tonight (Wed May 8th). We are featuring Rae Armantrout, who is a professor of Poetry and Poetics at UCSD and was the 2010 recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
Ducky Waddle's Emporium (414 N Coast Hy 101) opens doors at 7PM, local poets perform at 7:30 and our distinguished guest goes on at 9 PM.
Check out the Coast news article on our guest speaker (clicky clicky)

ReplyDeleteThat was a fascinating former post by JP. Please play it forward!
The poetry readings at Ducky Waddles always seem to be on Wednesday nights, when a few of us, anyway, are attending or watching City Council Meetings. Those can put people to sleep, too, especially when consultant reports or staff reports go on for more than twenty minutes at a stretch, sometimes up to an hour and a half. No poetry there!
I like the idea of limiting speakers at City Hall to make their point known in a 3 minute poem. Why didn't Bob think of that?
