Over the weekend I hosted a poetry reading … I have a lot to say about it and poetry readings in general, but for now, you can read my recap here:
On Sunday I hosted a reading at Gallery Neptune in Bethesda, Maryland as part of the Bethesda Literary Festival. This was the second year LitKicks participated in the LitFest and my third reading at the gallery. I think I enjoy the experience more each time. I don’t know if it’s because the space was specifically calibrated for poetry or if it just happens that the right mix of people converge on the spot or (and this is most likely) if it’s due to gallery owner Elyse Harrison’s genuine support and generosity, but Gallery Neptune is a perfect venue for artists and writers to come together. During each LitFest, the gallery produces an exhibit that follows a literary theme. This year’s theme was “The Bookmark” and we saw a wide variety of renditions of this theme — in both art and the spoken word.
I should also add that I got a really great piece of “bookmark” art from the show and I’ll post a picture of it very soon.
