Live at the Lyric 28.4.25

For this performance, I went with much harder material and a challenging delivery. Sadly, at about 3:00 there is a second person talking that is in the recording, but the audience didn’t hear because of the speakers. I tried to clean it up but it’s there still.

Set list:

1. The ants go marching 1 by 1

2. With Love, Goodbye!

3. A Playground

4. A poem/quote by Ghassan Kanafani which I found in Palestine Wail.

5. Anti smoking ad by Tony Schwartz for the American Cancer Society in 1963.

6. Her Father’s Watch.

7. Bloody Sonnet’s #19.

8. When Jonny Comes Marching Home (with some modifications).

I will probably take a week off from this. I pushed it with the audience a bit, so it will be good to take a break. Plus, I need to think of new material!

As I mentioned in the performance, this Wednesday my local radio station KUNC will be playing some kind of poetry wrap up. I heard all three of my poems on the radio this month! So you can perhaps listen live on Wednesday and here them. They said it was going to be on Morning Edition or All Things Considered which is typically in the mornings and afternoon.
