The Poets Lounge Presents Randy Barish

Randy Barish's poem "Dreams of Misty Babylon" was made into a video by The Poets Lounge.

 

Stone Soup Croutons, 9-20-23: Commuting to Eleusis

Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions selected 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 collecting the best of my first year of poems. Click here to purchase it.

Summer is over. Randy Barish was our official last feature of the summer. It was Randy's first ever feature, and I messed up with the Zoom link, making sure his first time, like most people's was awkward and messy. I'm glad people were still able to enjoy it, and Randy did a good job bouncing from scene to scene, season to season, in his work. 

It was an odd mixture of styles that night, and I'm not naturally a nature poet, so it was fun to put this short piece together.

Have to get back to work and promote Richard Spisak's feature this coming Wednesday.

Thanks for reading.

Commuting to Eleusis

Someday the sidewalk

will give you for choosing

this path, butterflying your

way out of tonight with your

hand puppet of a muse, 

adding colors you can't see 

While You're Waiting

Working on the Stone Soup Crouton poem from Wednesday. Until then, check out this short film using Randy Barish's poem, "Spectral Siren of the Night" courtesy of The Poets Lounge.

This past Wednesday, Dexter Roberts gave us a tour of his poetry and his home gallery. The feature and the open mic was a night of Jesus, the moon and Spider-Man. With more than a dash of pulp!

Yeah, I think I can work all that in. Maybe not well, but I can do it.

Sheer nonsense is all I'm good for this week.

Support Dexter through is Cash App at $spideydex and make inquiries about his art by emailing robertsdexter118@gmail.com.

Come back and see us next Wednesday for Randy Barish's feature. 

Thanks for reading.

In This Episode

The Moon knows a time

where she is tired of all

the crooners and their 

serenades. Jaded poets 

nod like they knew all

along as Moon comes 

down to bite them all

in their throats. Night

becomes a punch up 

in a running car. Next

Dexter Can Wave and Fingerpaint at the Same Time

Thanks to Dexter Roberts for a unique verbal and visual experience. Please support our feature by sendding him money. His Cash App is $spideydex. In inquiries about purchasing his art can be sent to robertsdexter118@gmail.com. Be with us next week as we feature Randy Barish.

September 20: Randy Barish Comes Home to Stone Soup

 

 

Over a decade ago, I recorded Randy Barish as a new regular at the Stone Soup open mic in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He went away quietly, as many do, but has recently returned to our online open mic as many have these past few years. Now his first book has been published and on September 20 he comes back to Stone Soup Poetry as a triumphant feature poet. 

 

Join us on September 20 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM ET by clicking this link.
