Thanks Wayne Kral for hosting First Floor Walk Up reading series last night @ One and One Bar in NYC. I'm the small gray lady in a black dress. Vincent Cuzena in the flowered shirt. Austin Alexis in blue jersey. Kral is in the sports coat with dark shirt. James Patrick Naughton in sports jacket.

Happy Bloomsday (especially to me & my record number of rejections, 3 last week while on vacation, & 1 today, to start the week off right. I think I'm going to go for nothing but rejections now). Photos were taken in Dublin last week. See if you can guess who the American is besides the statue.

I hope you'll enjoy my #poem #poetry "The Counting Hours," published in the new issue of INSCAPE from Washburn University in Kansas.

P.S. The picture of Paul Rabinowitz from last night's First Floor Walk Up reading didn't reproduce on the original post so here it is. He's holding two of his books from Finishing Line Press: "Grand Street, Revisited" and "truth, love and the lines in between."

Thanks to Wayne Kral for hosting/curating last night's First Floor Walk Up Reading Series event at the One and One Bar in lower Manhattan. Here are some pics of the other readers, I hope. They are, left to right, Henry Alcalay; Deedle Tomlinson; Wayne Kral; Tim Tomlinson; and Paul Rabinowitz.
