Recorded on August 18, 2019 at the Community Church of Boston. An amazing scene from last year's Boston Poetry Marathon. Carol also killed it during last night's Marathon.

My Best 9 for 2019 on Instagram

It looks like I hold Jan Rowe and James Van Looy in even higher regard than last year! Or Instagram did, at least. See my Instagram for more photos, and thanks for the likes.

Best Summer Memories

My 8 minutes at the Boston Poetry Marathon is something I cherish every year. I give this year's reading a B+ at best, but this was also the year I took on more official responsibilities as a co-organizer, handling most the social media throughout the three days. I can't wait to do this again next year.

Your Weekly Dose of God

Exhaustion kept me from posting my weekly dose last week. To make up for it, I present a selection of words and literature available from the Community Church of Boston, where I spent almost all my time documenting the recent Boston Poetry Marathon.

This sign makes mainstream Christians uncomfortable.

Happy Birthday Gale Batchelder

When You Want Forgiveness Too Much: My Boston Poetry Marathon Pastiche Poem

Navah The Buddaphliii helping to start off the Boston Poetry Marathon on Friday.

Normally, I do a weekly series on my blog called Stone Soup Croutons, poems created from half-heard lines, impressions and images from poems read on the Stone Soup Poetry open mic.  Last year, I decided to do a similar poem on the last day of the Boston Poetry Marathon.

This year, I tried to do it again, only this time starting Friday. This was not only my first attempt at trying to do a Croutons-type poem for all three days of the Marathon. It was also the first time I would attempt to stay for the entirety of all three days, all while giving my own eight minute reading and taking photos and video throughout the event.
