Poets and Music at Hugo House!
Do you enjoy listening to local hip musicians? AND do you enjoy poetry! Then tonight’s event at Richard Hugo House, featuring the Bushwick Book Club‘s collaborative meeting of Seattle poets and musicians, is probably your kind of thing! It’s $8 at the door, but this kind of unique performance is totally worth it. My poem “Sleeping Beauty Loves the Needle” is going to be turned into a real, live song by the genius work of Joy Mills. Pretty exciting!
Poets include: Ed Skoog, Evan Peterson, Bill Carty, Daemond Arrindell, Elaina Ellis, Jeannine Hall-Gailey, Amber Flame and Elissa Ball.
Musicians include: James Kelly Pitts, Scott Adams, Joy Mills, Karen Lindenberg, Shawnmarie Stanton, Susy Sundborg, Elijah Sussman and Wes Weddell.
Hope to see you there tonight!
And, you know, I may post a bit more about this later, but you may want to keep your eyes open for the May/June issue of American Poetry Review. No special reason, you know, just…
