My Poem for a Friend

 

  

"Recording Carol Weston" was inspired from my time helping to prepare Boston's favorite poet for her spot on the first online Boston Poetry Marathon in 2020. Today, you can read the poem in the newest issue of Poesy Magazine. Thanks so much to Brian Morrisey for giving my work a home again.

Hey, It's Me!

Since the recently online extravaganza, the people behind the Boston Poetry Marathon videos have been working to promote the videos and continue their already successful fundraiser.

Consider making a donation today. Andif you have check out this segment of the Marathon, started off by me (Go to 8:51 to skip my stuff).

The Boston Poetry Marathon is Done

You can go back and listen to the entire show or just catch what you miss (and I highly encourage you to do so) by clicking on their YouTube page here.

Carol Weston at the 2019 Boston Poetry Marathon

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.

Now you can view last night's Boston Poetry Marathon segments courtesy of YouTube. Stay tuned for night two  tonight!

Weeking Coming Early

I still work tomorrow, but the Boston Poetry Marathon is starting tonight. I'll be joining in later to listen.

Boston Poetry Marathon This Weekend, August 7-9!

The annual reading is online for this pandemic year, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it again. Festivities start Thursday night, continue Friday night (both 7:00 PM start times)  and then Saturday from noon to 10:00 PM. 

The entire event will be live streamed, which you will be able to watch though Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Periscope and YouTube.

I'll be hosting at least one segment on Saturday August 9 and helping to bring on Carol Weston on Friday August 8. I also start off the poetry on Saturday, but that's the least of it. You should come view the live stream for the 100-plus poets in  attendance this year. Check out the full tentative schedule here and come to hear some of your favorite poets along with others you've never heard before.

The Marathon is also fundraising for Black Lives Matter, which you can donate to via this link.

Thanks to Bridget Eileen and Suzanne Mercury for all their hard work putting this together.

It's Happening Again

I'm so happy to be part of the 2020 Boston Poetry Marathon happening online on August 8.

I'll be posting information all over the place once I get it.
