Hanging out with writers and poets at a cafe downtown last night…
The open-mic poetry reading was sponsored by the English Language and Literature Association. Poets and readers include Jason Braun, David Rawson, Geoff Schmidt and others. Earlier in the day was a similar event at the school library featuring Eugene B. Redmond, the Poet Laureate of East St. Louis.
I read four unpublished poems.

Hey Abi, thank you for being there always even when I’ve been AWOL. I’m well, happy, stressed, busy, bored, and all those things that people are when they’re transiting gently from studentship to realer life. Whenever I am in Britain, I promise to look you up. So keep the pounded yam steaming 🙂 Hugs.

Don’t worry bruv, you shall overcome. It comes in tides, this thing called real life, one day, you’ll find, you’ve been swimming rather well all along.
keep your head up, keep swimming, a boat comes soon to give you a lift.
And the yam? Your name has been carved on the plot which bears the tuber.
God bless
