Zoom Open Micers as Art


From Richard Spisak on Facebook: "POETS of the WEEK - captured at events hosted by Chad Parenteau, Fin Hall, David Leo Sirois, Kemlyn Tan Bappe, and Gustav Sallas - These fine poets can be found sharing their fine art across the GLOBE - Join in or give them a listen!"

Always appreciative of the art pieces Richard puts together of me and our fellow open micers. The shots of me and the Stone Soup audience came from Valerie Loveland's feature last week. Hopefully this summer I can make it to some of these other Zoom open mics on display here.

SAFE DISTANCE EDITION - Stone Soup Croutons, 4-28-21: Let Loose (to Michael Collins)


Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked from Stone Soup Poetry's open mic readers and features. I figure out a title (and sometimes the rest of the poem) later. You can read the other ones I've done since 2015 here.

I also have an award nominated book out now collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.

National Poetry Month is about to end. David Leo Sirois helped us close out the month beautifully. For all of David's lyrical words and impeccable presentation, I had to go and do a poem mixing the death of Apollo 11 astronaut Michael Collins with an old joke by George Carlin. 

You may ask yourself this: Why, God, why?

April 28: The Stone Soup Homecomings Continue with David Leo Sirois

 

Edited for new date!

David Leo Sirois was a regular at Stone Soup during my early days of hosting the venue. The poems I recorded of from his 2010 feature are among my favorites. He has traveled quite a bit since those days. It's exciting that we have an opportunity to meed again on April 28 so I can introduce him to a new generation of Stone Soupers. I hope you all take advantage of the opportunity.

Join us on April 28 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM ET by clicking this link.

A Week to Reflect

Full disclosure: David Leo Sirois is a poetic acquaintance who used to feature at Stone Soup Poetry before he moved to Paris. I emailed him after the attacks to see how he was, one thing led to another, and now he's sharing a poem today with artwork by Stacy Esch today on Oddball Magazine.

Stay tuned. There's more pieces like today's coming.
