I was the guest poet at the November edition of Poetry in Motion. They have an open mic each month, and then a Feature Poet. This month it was me. I’d last done it in 2021 after the late 2020 release of The Death of Music Journalism.
This time I had The Richard Poems to plug, but also read a few new and old poems. I also introduced Tarns Hood, during my segment, and got her to recite one of her poems. (Tarns is thanked in the Acknowledgments of my new book, she is one of the best performance poets around, a SLAM champ, and she gave me crucial advice on my delivery of these new poems, for which I am very grateful).
Anyway, this is the recording of the night’s feature spot. You’ll hear my full set here, including Tarns’ poem, and all the explanatory banter and backstory around various poems too.
