the Lexiconjury Reading Series was organized by a. rawlings and Bill Kennedy. Last night was an all "open michelle" where "everyone is the feature". There were so many readers. SO MANY. And so many were so good. I found myself wishing I'd thought to write down their names with little notes about their peices so I could remember who was who and who to look up later. Poster, list of readers at bottom.
The Open Michelle rule is that each reader is allowed to read two poems, at least one of which must be a "cover" poem. Many of the covers were found poems, taken into a different context and becoming quite comical. Jessica Westhead read Shoplifting is Stealing by Walmart.
Everyone was very friendly, and I was able to chat with a number of people I'd been waiting patiently to meet.
It's a great shame that this reading series is ending, but I'm glad that I was able to make it to one installment.
