St. Lawrence Area Poets

Yeah, it's a Sunday late afternoon in July, in fact the very end of July.  Nancy & I are just chillin.  We cleaned off the bookcases in our bedroom, piling the lovely tomes all over the floor in two rooms & painting the walls behind & around the bookcases.  Great work w/ beer!  I saw so many marvelous books I want to re-read or read for the first time--so many beautiful titles: fantasy, science-fiction, essays, psych-books.  I think we need some new genres.  Hey, everyone think hard & send me your nominations for new genres.  Make 'em up!

How does everyone feel about an open-mike reading at Jernabi's coffee shop on Thursday evening, August 12th?  Any strong yeas or nays please let me know.  I've got something scheduled, but it's only tentative.  Be great if three or four readers showed up. 

And I do plan an August SLAP poetry newsletter.  Anyone who wants IN, please send poems soon.  That's it.  This is a perfect summer evening/late-afternoon.  Well, it's nearly 7:00 now, & the fat sun is dropping toward the trees on the horizon.  I want to take off three years & read all those books.
