Caught
The Perpetual Motion Roadshow last night here in Portland, which I heard about through
Mike Young. Mike was one of the poets I met in Ashland earlier this year at the Emergent Forms series at Southern Oregon University, along with
Jessica Rowan (featured in the new issue of
Foursquare) and an impressively tight group of writers that felt just a few hairs away from becoming a sort of "Ashland School."
Mike read from his chapbook "That's Not the Face I Was Giving You," which he delivered like youth's ambassador to the Sanhedrin. One from the set:
NOTHING IS INTERMINABLE RIGHT NOW
Oh snap! According
to tonight's work
zee past

I feel like a Clydesdale
watching NASCAR
in a nice bathtub.
Stops to come in Berkeley, San Francisco, San Jose.

jess's new politicalcartoon+typewriting work is awesome. definitely an ashland mini-school (good work kasey)
Many thanks again, Rodney, for swinging by and for this post. =)
Maybe on the Ashland school. Not sure about "mini-school." It makes me think of those miniature burger and fry novelty meals suburban American mothers put in their kids' lunches when they hate them.
They're delicious.
Are we almost a 'school' now?
Do I get to say 'we'? Ooh.
The idea is cool.
Mike, do you mean those pizza lunchables things? =)
I do mean those pizza things, hehe. I was just joking about not being a school. Rereading my comment, I sound sort of snotty. Sorry if that came across. I am a bit askew. For instance, I forgot the word acapella last night. Fuh shame.
Thanks, Rodney (and Jessica).
I like the idea that we're becoming a school...we've definately been coming together this year. But: do we get to take the school with us when we all leave in June?
