Boooooooooo

Hi everyone,

Sometime ago, Renee LaTulippe and I made this Halloween video. No one asked us to bring it back this year, but we know how forgetful you are and that you meant to. So here it is, just as you meant to request.

I love working with Renee. In this case I (think I) suggested we might do something together and wrote what turned out to be my half of this bloodcurdling duet. Renee, with her superior knowledge of all kinds of things, including makeup, dramatizing, producing, and technology, took care of the rest. I couldn’t decide whether to repost this on Saturday or on Sunday. My compromise was to leave it up both days. You’ll thank me later.

Boo

Hi everyone,
Halloween fun from No Water River (https://www.nowaterriver.com/poetry-video-library/), featuring none other than the one and only Renee La Tulippe!

Today is Blog Tour #10

Hi everyone,

Yesterday was publication day for AFTER DARK, POEMS ABOUT NOCTURNAL ANIMALS, and I had a great day. My thanks to everyone who helped in some way to make the occasion so special.

Today is Stop #10 on the tour and I’m happy to say that the host is Renee La Tulippe, in Italy over at No Water River (https://www.nowaterriver.com/). Most of you know Renee and/or her wonderful achievements in preserving the work and voices of poets. On an early occasion when she interviewed me, for some reason I was full of silly responses and that’s how our relationship began. I’m not sure Renee believes I have a serious thought in my head because when she agreed to host me on this tour I sent her my answers first. Well…

So I’ve been looking forward to seeing today’s post and discover what my patient friend has managed to make of what I sent her. I hope you’ll enjoy her post. I’m quite sure that I will.

Renee, let the fun begin. Seriously.

No Water River alert

Hi everyone,

I loved TLA again this year. It’s an exceptional conference. I heard a guess that 15,000 attended but don’t have any true numbers yet. Yesterday I enjoyed very much being one of five featured poets in the 14th annual Poetry Round Up. The others were Jorge Argueta, Janet Wong, Margarita Engle (current U.S. Children’s Poet Laureate), and Juan Felipe Herrera (former United States Poet Laureate). We each read for a while and I loved hearing from the other four. My thanks again to Sylvia Vardell for including me.

Are you enjoying Renee La Tulippe’s wonderful month-long celebration of Poetry Month at No Water River? Don’t miss it! Already she has featured Margarita Engle, Nikki Grimes, Lita Judge, LaNay Brown-Wood, Janet Wong, and Leslea Newman. Today it’s Pat Mora and tomorrow it’s my turn. I hope you’ll check it out at http://www.nowaterriver.com

Here’s a way to view the upcoming schedule. Sorry I’m making it a multi-step procedure. Not smart enough to do in one. Doc1
