Monday Of The Word & Spaghetti Tour

Night two of the Word & Spaghetti Tour! Which was hosted by Dug of Dugland. My opening poets were Doug Gamble and Colin Ward (of Happy Tooth & Dug) (It's weird to talk about my own boyfriend by his first and last name). Unique to this night, we also had a comedian open up, which was David Gamble. Again, this was an absolutely awesome night. I even got into the old habit of throwing my poems on the ground when I was done reading them. The night was so good that God cried, and to us it was a wicked thunder storm. Performing in living rooms creates such a personal environment. I feel super loved by everyone. Like really really super loved and really really super grateful.

Sunday Of The Word And Spaghetti Tour

Tonight was the first night of the Word & Spaghetti Tour!It was a really great way to open the week! The hosts of the evening went above and beyond to provide a great environment and also way awesome food. Tonight was also the first night with my new chapbook Spooky Ghosts being out. It is thirteen poems that I put together. For each of the covers I hand drew a unique ghost. My opening poets for the evening were Louise Robertson and Javier Cintax. One of the seriously awesome parts of this week is getting to read along side Columbus poets that I adore.
I feel like there is a lot to be learned during my week of performing. We will see what the rest of the week has in store.
