The reading was almost as much fun as this thread. Everybody knows about the warmth and humanity and graceful elegance of Rhina Espaillat’s verse. There’s also a formidable witty twinkle in those gentle eyes, and she’s not afraid to get a wee bit naughty. The crowd loved her, and was not entirely unresponsive to me and David Davis and Alfred Nicol as well. Alfred noted that a brewpub is the sort of poetry venue in which Marlowe and Shakespeare would feel right at home.
I can recommend BareWolf’s beer, which is sold for consumption on the premises and in “growlers,” big glass jugs to take home. As soon as Amazon buys up the business, those should be available for overnight delivery.
