Well of course - this is My Show! And I would love to have people come to see it!
One thing I should say is that I don't understand most poetry that is published these days. My husband has gotten used to the funk I get into every time a new poetry journal arrives in the mail. I just don't get it. Many people, when they hear this - feel safer exploring my poetry - because as it turns out - very few people actually GET what is published as poetry.
So, I call myself a poet begrudgingly. To me - it is poetry. To a Poetry Professor, it may not be. But most of what a poetry professor would have me read, would make me want to poke my eyes out - so it's okay if the professors don't like my stuff. Real people like my stuff, and that is what matters to me.
Here is a link to reviews from last year's show - "Come now, I will test you with pleasure". Perhaps hearing what people thought of my Freshman performance will help you decide to come and check out this year's work!
I appreciate you trusting me with your time.
