April 21: Marathon Monday and Jennifer Jean

When the Boston Marathon bombing happened last year, I cancelled Stone Soup Poetry for the evening. I hope I will not have to do that again tonight. I urge you all to come to Cambridge and share your words and thoughts on the events and even today's happenings, whether it is excitement over today's winners or praise for a family member who finished. Additionally, I want you to be in the audience when Jennifer Jean reads from her new book The Fool. Consider it a capstone to today's celebrations as well as a preview to next month's National Poetry Month festival. Let's close out one year later in the best of ways, with friends and art.

New Interview

Check out my interview with  Boston Cares about my work being selected for the Mayor's Prose and Poetry and Program. My interview is just one of a series of stories of people making good in reaction to the Marathon bombings.  I heard what's coming down the pipe as far as stories go, and believe me, there are people way cooler than me on this list that I'll be excited to read about. Thanks, Boston Cares, for letting me start off things.
