Good mail: Chapbooks came a few days ago from Brenda Iijima, the designer/publisher of Portable Press [click the image above for a better look at the covers]. The one I've spent the most time with so far is Diane Ward's When You Awake, which I love. You can read Matt Henriksen's review of it (& of John Coletti's Physical Kind, also from Portable Press) here at The Burning Chair.

Brenda is also a wonderful poet (as you probably already know). I'm excited to be reading with her and the inimitable Joe Massey tomorrow. The reading was scheduled to be at the Cloister Cafe, but yesterday had to be switched

to the other regular Burning Chair venue:



The Fall Cafe
307 Smith St.
Between Union & President
Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn
(G/F to Carroll Street)
new time: 6 pm

If I were traveling by boat, or floating through the air, the new address is closer. We see Brooklyn across the bay from the beach near our house, one of our regular walks:

I've only recently discovered Google Earth. Type in an address and drift over to it from wherever you start. Pretty cool. Pretty spooky. It looks like all of America was shot at the same time on the same day, when we all had the same sunny weather.
