Poetry Reading
 Saturday night was a poetry reading for The Project, the poetry writing group with which I have been a
member since 1998. When we began, we all worked at Mosby Publishing (now owned by Elsevier) and called it The Project so we
could discuss and email with each other at work and fool the bosses into thinking it was about work.
Now, most
of us have gone our separate ways professionally, but we continue to "meet" via email. Every month we send a poem
to the group, and a week later, we send notes to each other on the poems. Twice a year we meet in person for a reading. Although
some months finding a quiet place in my mind to write a poem is a struggle, most of the time we all manage to turn one in.
I know, for myself, having this deadline has kept me writing and is really worthwhile. Pictured here is Kirk, at whose home the reading took place. We had wine, poetry, and friends; a winning combination.
