This excellent poetry reading took place at one of my local cafes. It is clear that there are some truly excellent poets in Philadelphia.
I read my poem “From Marx to God,” which I wrote in Paris years ago.

My father, Phil Kerby, won the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing. Before that, he was the editor of "Frontier Magazine," which later merged with "The Nation," which is our country's oldest political magazine.
