Okay, that’s a bad pun (Potential Energy? I need some of that!)
I got a D in Physics 101. Which is my disclaimer for this post.
But seriously, there’s a lotta energy going on these next coupla months. Such as:
The March Writer’s Buzz, where we’ll all chat about slush piles (what’s the coefficient of friction for three poem stuck into a #10 envelope?), the state of lit journals, and such. March 22, 2008, 10 to noon PM at Tattered Cover, LoDo. Free for Lighthousers. The rest need to pony up $10. Or, heck, get a membership.
And a second Buzz: Your Writing Career: Publishing, Marketing, and Honing the Craft in 2008, on Saturday, March 8, 10 AM to 11:15 AM, at the Mayor’s Expo on Building Creative Businesses. Should be fun!
Then, a fantastic performance with lighthouse and Telling Stories—called “Voiceovers”—at the Mercury Café, April 4.Yours truly (Mike Henry), Shari Caudron, Jennie Dorris, and Janine Fritz will be performing original works with musical accompaniment. Starts at 7:00 PM. Patchouli, that person who speaks to you inside your head (classic Freudian voiceover to be sure), tin flutes and/or tubas suggested, but not mandatory.
Crud. That means I have to write a new essay about that.
Last, and hoppy-good not least, our Denver Poet Laureate Chris Ransick is hosting a special night of poetry and brews called Liquid Poetry at the Wynkoop Brewery, Friday, April 11, at 7 p.m. It will feature live music, door prizes, a beer-themed poetry contest, and readings from featured poets Mike Henry, JD Frey, and Joy Sawyer.
Crud. That means I have to write a new poem about beer. Hiccup.
