This was the first reading that I went to and I hope it won't be my last. Every reader that I saw go up there read their piece with a nervous passion. I could definitely tell that they cared about what they made.
My favorite reading there was definitely the asteroid. The reader spoke with an intensity as if she came there prepared to win an award for best reading. The poem itself seemed to ask so much from this passing asteroid. It was ridiculous. My favorite line from that poem was, "Come burn the toupee off of Donald Trump."
This event inspired me to start writing some more. So now, if I'm ever feeling down, I have something to go to in order to get my creative juices flowing again.
