Marked Men Launch at The Tattered Cover Book Store
Here are some pics of my first reading in support of Marked Men at Tattered Cover‘s Colfax location this past Friday, September 20th. Wrestling a 46-page historical poem into a 45-minute presentation gave me a sleepless night or two, but I lucked into a generous audience that made the evening a real pleasure. Thanks to my beautiful wife Melody for her turn behind the camera. Another Marked Men reading is on the schedule for the Denver area: 6:30 p.m. on Friday, October 4th, at the wonderful new indie store, Book Bar. This is part of a whole Poetry Weekend, by the way.Read More
