Gave a reading as part of a big group of readers at a big store called The Literary Cat Company. Apparently people like to listen to poetry near cats. That’s me in the black and white coat.

Fun open mic. I started w/poem called “Fuck” written in response to Scalia years ago followed w/poem in which I say scrotum a few times, moved on to “Paternity” then more homey poems. people who didn’t walk out seemed to enjoy. it’s not time to be quiet about women’s rights or bodily autonomy.
