I will be reading for the Best American Poetry showcase at the So Cal Poetry Festival in Venice Beach this Sunday the 18th at 6pm. It'll be fun, promise: http://www.scpoetryfest.com/Schedule2018.html

I won't be able to make it, but thanks for the announcement, Aaron. I continue to delude myself that one of these days an LA poetry event is actually going to work out for me. Have a wonderful time.

I'll have to do an event in lovely San Diego. Thanks for being interested, Julie.

How was your reading, Aaron?

[Aaron Poochigian]

Thanks for asking. So much fun--the room was packed and enthusiastic, and my fellow poets, Brenden Constantine, Mandy Kahn, Ilya Kaminsky, Nate Klug and Jessica Piazza, were on. I also had the pleasure of meeting Charlotte Innes from the Sphere. I want to move to Venice Beach and be a groupie of "Beyond Baroque," the poetry center there.
