More Ron from a Moron

As far as I can tell, this is also from the Goba Salon in December 2009. Regardless, it's a photo I like of Ron and Laura Kiesel, who has a new book out. I hope to share more photos of Ron along with a tribute poem or two in Oddball Magazine this Monday. I wanted to post more of Ron on his birthday week, but the week got away from me. Apologies.

 

Happy Birthday, Laura Kiesel

This came in the mail while I was away. Can't wait to read Laura Kiesel's new book, Swallowing the Stem of Adam's Apple, You should grab it too.

SAFE DISTANCE EDITION - Stone Soup Croutons, 7-28-21: Dating 101

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 a book out now collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.

Thank you, Laura Kiesel, for a fine feature. You've come a long way since you first Stone Soup feature ten years ago. I'm buying your book today and rooting for you to find a new home in Boston. 

This week's poem won't do Laura's poems justice, so you should listen to that if you haven't already. It's funny how I even incoporated some imagetry from her opening monologue before she even read a poem. Lot of memories brought up. Thanks for reading.
