Thirty-One Days of Stone Soup Stuff

This must have been part of Jack Powers' city worker duties. A blank certificate for participating in Beacon Hill's First Annual Winter's Carnival in 1973. I wonder who remembers this and how much Stone Soup took part in this.

Thirty-One Days of Stone Soup Stuff

A poster for a 1975 New Year's Eve concert to benefit the Stone Soup Society. How many times did Stone Soup alter its name? Now I want to see if there are any YouTube videos with John Lincoln Wright and The Sour Mash Boys. Great name.

Happy Birthday, Ronnie Linn

 

Here We Go Again

Stone Soup is back tonight. James Van Looy is featuring. Hope to see you in the audience. 

Stone's Throw is Ready

The print version of Stone's Throw is ready for tonight's reading.

Thanks to the friends at Armchair Politician Press for helping me get these out.

Stone's Throw #2: The Final Cover

Final cover art by Adric Giles.

Hoping to send out a proof copy to the contributors for any last minute changes.  With any luck, it will be available this weekend electronically via my website and later in print this Monday at Stone Soup.

Goba On The Move

It's been over a week since he featured, and it still needs saying that Ron Goba's Stone Soup reading on September 8th made an impact with both the attendees who have been familiar with his work over the past couple of decades and those who were hearing and reading it for the first time.  I want to thank everyone who was able to make it that night.

Ron called to thank me a few days ago (and it's always wonderful but strange when a performer as talented and generous as Ron thanks me for just letting them do their thing).  He also let me know that Richard Cambridge, who was also in attendance on the eighth, is now planning to book Ron for read for his own venue (which will include music) sometime in April 2015.

I also want to have Ron return to Stone Soup sometime after that date so he can read in the Out of The Blue Art Gallery's new home.  It may be scheduled near his birthday, it might be scheduled for later.  I'll let you know both the gallery's new location and my plans for Ron as soon as I can.

Ron also said some kind words for the work published in Stone's Throw and offered to send a poem I could include in a future issue.  Of course I said yes.  You'll have to wait on that, but if you weren't in the audience for Ron but still want to read all the poems he crafted specifically for that night, shoot me an email, and I'll send a PDF file to you.

  

 

July 28: Flatline Poetry's Guillermo Caballero at Stone Soup

It's great to continue our focus on Flatline Poetry at Stone Soup.  The second of our four monthly Flatline features (before the final feature with all four members in October) will be Guillermo Caballero featuring this Monday.  Expect cameos from future features and hopefully some returning poets that we haven't seen for a while.  Hope to see you there.  Summer will be over before you know it, and we hope to bring it to an exciting close at Stone Soup.
