Margaret Malloch Zielinski (getting ready to read) with Cathy playing the part of Steve and Amanda for host of the day since both were too ill to make it. (If you want to send Get Well cards to Amanda, let me know and I can tell you where to send them.)
Book angel Christine stands by in green. Each donation got an issue of BQJ, or else they could be bought directly for $3 each.
Lovely rich music by Jesse who played her own songs and Tom Waits’ with a smokey voice on a borrowed guitar (hers is in the shop) on a longer set than she expected. A talented trouper. Sylvia Adams (above right) read this and Margaret Malloch Zielinski read this from the Bywords Quarterly Journal (BQJ).
The BQJ is a best of round up of the monthly online issues coming out on print each quarter. The launch was held on Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 2:00pm as part of the Dusty Owl Reading Series.
Jamie Bradley, Stephen Rowntree and Jesse Patrick Ferguson (who has a collection out with Freehand momentarily) are also in the issue.
The Bywords part was followed by the regular open mic and Object of Desire instant poem challenge.
