Hey, I'll be reading and talking on J.P. Dancing Bear's poetry radio show, Out of Our Minds, at 8pm this Wednesday on KKUP, 91.5 FM in Cupertino.
J.P. is a poet, translator, editor, and publisher and he's hosted this radio show for quite a while! He does a lot for Bay Area poetry communities. I don't know his poetry very well, but I 'see' him all the time on the WOMPO Women's Poetry mailing list.
For the show, I'll read some poems and probably a few translations. It sounds like fun! Now, which things to read? Some of my stuff is good out loud... the giant robot poem and "moon veil your mirror". I notice people tend to like stuff with repetition that has a central idea. However, most everything I write isn't like that, and I love to hear poetry that goes all over the map! My stuff in the last couple of years tends to be very long, complicated, and baroque, which I know doesn't mean a nice listening experience... but I might throw something long in the mix. It's what I like to hear (& write).
Wish me luck in getting over this cold and sore throat before Wednesday! If not, then I'll pretend I'm always husky and sultry on the air.
