<span style="color: #cccccc;">last weekend i had the distinct pleasure of attending the second annual <a href="http://www.nolapoetry.com/" target="_blank">new orleans poetry festival</a>. being a louisiana writer, publishing colleague, and friend of the organizers, megan burns and bill lavender, i had attended and loved the first one as well. clearly i'm biased--even more so because of the setting--so i'll just get into some of the inspiring experiences i had over the weekend.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;">the poets with bands concert is always a blast, and i got to watch brett evan's band the skin verbs (finally!) and <a href="https://www.kelcymae.com/" target="_blank">kelcy mae</a> both kill it, before going out to grab oysters and beers with my new friend and talented denver poet teow lim goh, who was introduced to me online by a mutual friend and former lsu colleague.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;">friday am started with "o galactic black wild,"a memorial panel for new orleans painter and poet daniel reinhold and unlikely books editor and poet, michelle greenblatt. i was not familiar with daniel's body of work but i admired hearing his story of recovery, his sensitive and funny (not an easy feat to pull off; for instance, one poem dealt with getting a heart tr<span style="font-family: inherit;">ansplant with a piñata) poems read by his friends and family, and the anecdotes of him kicking around the city with everette mad</span>dox. the second half of the panel was a tribute to michelle greenblatt from her friend and <a href="http://clockwisecat.com/" target="_blank">clockwise cat </a>publisher, alison ross, and her unlikely books friends and family. alison, jonathan penton and roz spencer read from her collections <i><a href="http://www.unlikelystories.org/unlikely-books/ashes-and-seeds" target="_blank">ashes and seeds</a> </i>and her new posthumous book, <i>brain : storm</i>. christopher shipman read some poems inspired by michelle's voice and emails while helping us edit <i><a href="http://www.unlikelystories.org/unlikely-books/ship-on-the-line" target="_blank">_a ship on the line</a></i>. i commemorated michelle by reading a <a href="http://www.unlikelystories.org/devorah/cellucci0116.shtml" target="_blank">eulogy</a> i wrote for her and an excerpt from my introduction to another posthumous publication, <a href="http://www.unlikelystories.org/unlikely-books/ghazals-1-59-and-other-poems" target="_blank">a book of ghazals</a> she wrote in collaboration with sheila murphy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><a href="http://sacredgrovereadingseries.weebly.com/" target="_blank">the sacred grove reading series</a> hosted one of the best readings of the festival--what a climax for their final reading before a "permanent hiatus!" every reader was stellar, and it was the most lively and diverse reading i attended. jenn marie nunes 4-person collaborative translation reading of the same poem's correlating lines through multiple drafts of revision really evidenced her claim to make the translation process more transparent, and it certainly modeled a more performative way to convey translation. tim jones-yelvington <i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Become-Yr-Face-Tim-Jones-Yelvington/dp/1934832561" target="_blank">bec[a]me on [our] face </a></i>with a wonderful poem and performance about being the supermodel of poetry, lauren hunter (freshly published with my friendys, birds, llc.) made me question all our <i><a href="http://www.birdsllc.com/catalog/human-achievements" target="_blank">human achievements</a>, </i>kwoya fagin maples read seat-writhing and haunting poems about the experimental slave subjects in alabama, and rushelle frazier closed with one of the most honest and endearing love poems that i won't soon forget. </span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;">later my former teacher, laura mullen introduced me to lisa samuels, a very kind poet living in new zealand doing cool things with sound<span style="font-family: inherit;">, and laura very generously gifted me lisa's newest book, <a href="http://www.shearsman.com/ws-shop/product/6428-lisa-samuels---symphony-for-human-transport" target="_blank"><i>symphony for human t</i><span style="background-color: black;"><i>ranspor</i><span style="background-color: black;"><i>t </i></span></span></a>. <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: black;">li</span>sa delive</span>red a sonic reading complete with</span></span> an echo device that i wish i talked more to her about. chuck perkins sang and bellowed poems that owned the audience, having no need for a mic, and another former teacher, rodger kamenetz inspired us all with heartfelt poems and alligator atheist allegories.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;">the next day, i showed up late (surprise, surprise)--missing rodger's dream workshop i had intended to write a great poem in; then i skipped the lunch read in favor of hanging out with zander at the open mic stage--his volunteer duty was hosting for several hours. bill informed me we missed a grand dada reading (martin mattos and luis bravo), which i regret a little, but we had a blast goofing around, drinking beer, reading our most unpolished poetry, and delving into our own dada mobile google performances. afterwards i caught the trembling pillow press read and got to hear an exciting preview of lsu peer, kristen sander's <a href="http://www.tremblingpillowpress.com/cuntry/" target="_blank"><i>cuntry</i> </a>(read by jenn), which included a poem that starts with garth brooks in a ball gag (what could be better?) as well as longer reads from lisa donovan's new work, <i><a href="http://www.tremblingpillowpress.com/red-of-split-water-a-burial-rite/" target="_blank">red of split water</a>,</i> and lauren ireland, who absolutely relieved my ears from all the intentionally bad poetry i'd been reading at the open mic with her amazing moon poem. next i got to hear my new friend teow read from her stellar and informative work, <i><a href="https://teowlimgoh.com/" target="_blank">islanders</a></i>, which gives voices to the detained chinese women and immigrants the us detained at angel island before the second world war.</span><br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;">late from dinner break, i only saw rodrigo toscano at the evening read, but did he ever steal the moment with his inspiring and hilarious performance that weaved millennial voices, politics, bar napkin scribbles, and sound poetry. i captured an excerpt from his last poem for you (see below). </span><br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cccccc;">finally, the bookfair, like at awp, is always one of my favorite places to hang, network, and shitshoot with like creative minds, not to mention stock up on some loot of the lute too (see pic below). paul cunningham gave me some great tips on cool translations presses. i had a great conversation with ralph adamo at xavier review, not to mention getting him to autograph my copy of <a href="http://www.lavenderink.org/content/link/277" target="_blank"><i>ever</i></a> (lavender ink). i also finally got my copy of nancy's <i><a href="http://www.lavenderink.org/content/link/210" target="_blank">no lit anthology</a></i>, and i had a big fun chatting it up and getting to know the <a href="http://www.giganticsequins.com/" target="_blank">gigantic sequins</a> and<a href="https://www.biglucks.com/books/" target="_blank"> big lucks </a>books crew. then the call girls (bill and shippy's punk band) rocked the house, and the poets danced. </span><span style="color: #cccccc;">the occasion also served as a reunion with many gulf coast writer friends. safe to say, see you next year nola poetry fest!</span><br />

contest-winning book publications and the literary stylings of Jessica
Rogers and Dylan Krieger.<br /> <br /> Dylan Krieger is a pile of false
eyelashes growing algae in south Louisiana. She lives in a little
cottage with a catfish and her demons and sunlights as a trade mag
editor. Her first book, Giving Godhead, is forthcoming in 2017 from
Delete Press. Her other poetry projects include a collaborative satire
of big-budget action movies, a collage of automatic captions from alien
abduction documentaries, and (mostly recently) an irreverent reimagining
of philosophical thought experiments.</span></span><br />

She then tried to get a job at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, because they have an excellent corporate structure and they... *they* give *you* the tools to be your own boss. After a month of wearing pantsuits and learning what the word 'compact' means, she now knows the value of a hard-earned dollar and if you've fallen from drinking too much tequila, Enterprise will most definitely not pick you up. You can find her short fiction piece "One, two, three" in Delta Journal 58 and other stories on her blog </span><a href="http://jessicaashleighr.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">jessicaashleighr.wordpress.com</a></span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Between shootings and floods, it's been a hellish summer in BR. The literary arts scene of the city remains persistent if not thriving, and we want to support two vital voices of our community: Donney and Leslie D. Rose.<span class="fsl"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;"><span class="fsl">Elevator Projects literary programing combines with
River Writers to offer a reading in support of Baton Rouge's only Donney
Rose's upcoming trip to the 2016 Individual World Poetry Slam. He will
be joined by his amazingly talented wife Leslie. Hosted by WHYR 96.9 FM,
this reading will go down in their record shop at their Main St.
location in the heart of Mid City. Come out and support Donney
representing BR on the national stage as well as your own community
radio! Come hear what's right about BR. </span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cccccc;">Donney will have his hot-off-the-press chapbook "New Definitions" ($10)
for sale and there will be vinyl to flip through and purchase for all
you music lovers.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc;">Please see the below information about a very important event that my friend Donney is helping coordinate tomorrow. It is taking place at the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge. As we are attempting to return to some normalcy in the wake of the flood, I urge you all to remember that a large portion of our community are still dealing with the effects of Alton Sterling being slain by Baton Rouge law enforcement who have not to date been held accountable for their acti<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ons. This event is on behalf of the children he left behind. Please share this info with your network.</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc;">On Tuesday, July 5th the children of Alton Sterling lost their father by way of a world-publicized state sanctioned murder. Alton Sterling, known to residents of the Fairfields community as the CD Man, was out selling CDs to provide for his family. He is no longer here to be able to do so, therefore it is up to his community to truly be a village for the children he left behind.</span></div>

that tempered her general moodiness with excessive politeness and also
gave her minor nerve damage in the form of three lightly frostbitten
toes. When it's cold, her toes feel like they are floating loose in her
socks like Lincoln logs. She has an MFA from LSU and recently won first
place for poetry in the Words and Music/Faulkner Wisdom Writing
Competition. She has embraced the cliche of being a writer with a
library science degree and works in records management. In her spare
time, she can be found overinstagramming trees, food and her two year
old daughter.</span></span><br />

Garrett</b>, has published no books; has no published collections for you
to buy or pretend to care about. He has no stake in making you like him
or his words, but you will undoubtedly love his voice. He does not do
radio, nor does he sing. He loves cooking for his son, and learning the
extremes of his own tolerance. He is not a "teaching artist" nor a
professional one, but will gladly talk and share with anyone, willing to
listen. He doesn't remember the names of most individuals he meets, so
repeat your name to him if you care to be remembered. He believes
poetry is in the way we bleed, not how much we do so. His poetry is
meant to be read at the most inopportune times: in churches,
gynecologist waiting rooms, unemployment lines, welfare lines,
admissions and financial aid offices, as well as funerals. He knows
that you will most likely remain lost after reading/hearing his work.
This is by design. He is not here to walk the path for you, merely to
light your way, as he tries to find his. Hold your glasses firmly and
know that you are in the best place for poetry.</span></span></span></span></span> <br />

<span style="color: #cccccc;">“The poems of <b>Vernon Fowlkes, Jr.</b> shine with
presence and tender care. His eye is widely tuned and closely focused at once,
inviting us into deeper, kinder living. He reminds us why we are here.” So
says Naomi Shihab Nye, author of<i> Transfer </i>(BOA Editions, 2013)
and a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, in describing Fowlkes’ most
recent poetry collection, <i><a href="http://negativecapabilitypress.bigcartel.com/product/the-sound-of-falling-by-vernon-fowlkes-jr" target="_blank">The Sound of Falling</a> </i>(Negative
Capability Press, 2013). Of the collection, Coleman Barks says “All the
unspoken words and something no one can say; something you want but cannot
have. A listening begins to happen and a profound waiting…There is a lot of
courage in these poems.” Fowlkes’ work has appeared over the years in
numerous journals, both online and in print, including <i>The Southern
Review, The Ampersand Review, Negative Capability, Willow Springs, Elk River
Review, Birmingham Arts Journal, </i>and <i>The Texas Observer. </i>A
1977 graduate of the LSU Creative Writing program, he is from Mobile, AL, where
he lives today.</span></div>
