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.
Wednesday night was the last night at the Assemblage Gallery. For now? Forever? I can't say. I'm glad Bil Lewis was the one to close out this era a second time.
I'm glad Bil has a video of the event. I haven't posted as much documentation of Stone Soup's time at the gallery. Either time, actually, since we were there from September 2019 to February 20202 the first time around. I'm still sitting on video and pictures that need to be posted. Maybe for May...
This week's poem is a bit of a cheat. (aren't' they all?) I didn't take many notes and am relying on the photography of the gallery to help me take this poem home. Glad I have these poems to store certain emotions and impressions. In this case, not even gentrified locations being safe from their own gentrification.
It's a new era, I guess. Thanks for reading.
