Sept 18th was the main Blink Gallery reading.
There were between 3 and 4 dozen people who came to the reading. Lovely to have a reading outside in the sun and warmth.
People could spread out on the grass
and chat before and after.

Laurie (left) and Alacrity Stone (right) added their poems. We had 9 planned readers and 3 people who stepped forward. I have an album of photos of each of them here.

All the poems circulated around identity shifts, memory and history shifts, some dipping into shifts of the way language has its peculiar vagaries.
I’ll let you know when the chapbook collecting poems comes to fruition so if you could come, or couldn’t you can see it all together.
Me sitting down after hosting it, with the flowers given. How sweet.
