Poetry Reading Photos
I had a great time reading with two excellent poets, Robert Cooperman and Andrea Hollander, first in Boulder (at Innisfree Poetry Bookstore) on April 4th and then in Denver (at BookBar) on April 5th. Just for grins, here some pictures. I’m only in one of them because I was the guy behind the camera for all the rest; the one I’m in was taken by Nicole Sullivan, presiding genius of BookBar. I should say that I read from two recent books. In Boulder from Marked Men, and in Denver from Bed of Coals.Read More

Cooperman Ascendant
Bob Cooperman I could, of course, green with jealousy, mutter, “Gr-r-r–you swine!” But unlike Browning’s nameless detester of Brother Lawrence, I have nothing but affection for my friend Bob Cooperman, two of whose poems will be read by Garrison Keillor on Monday and Tuesday, December 13 and 14, on his Writer’s Almanac radio show. In Colorado we get his show at the following times on the following stations: 9:30 a.m. on KSUT-FM 91.3 and KUTE-FM 90.1 in Ignacio9:30 a.m. on KDNG-FM 89.3 in Durango9:35 a.m. on KUNC 91.5 in Fort Collins and Greeley1:06 p.m.Read More

The REAL National Anthem
If you ever got choked up (as I did, often) while watching coverage of Barack Obama’s inauguration, grab a tissue for the powerful video (see below) of Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, and Seeger’s grandson Tao performing Woody Guthrie’s great song “This Land Is Your Land” in Sunday’s “We Are One” concert at the Lincoln Memorial. Their rendition included the more provocative verses—verses most performers leave out: In the squares of the city,By the shadow of the steeple, By the relief office, I saw my people .As they stood there hungry,I stood there wonderin’ If this land’s still made for you and me.Read More
