Yesterday I went to Bar 13 for the Uppercase reading featuring Jessica, Maria and Matt. I sat in the back and did work on my computer while listening to the poetry. I have to say I was happy with what I heard. They all showed depth and polish. Individually they would be better than many of the features that have come through 13 over the years. I doubt that will ever happen as I don't think 13 has never had someone do the uppercase reading and feature for them, although I am sure Oscar is double checking right now. It really doesn't matter though as I am sure they will go on to be great well respected writers in the larger community. I want to give them all their props. Fish too for his no holds barred hosting. Nice.
Nice is a city in France and is pronounced neese like geese. I will not be going there but I will be in France as of tomorrow. Paris to be exact with Jeannie celebrating our three year anniversary. Yaaay.
I'll try to post but probably won't.
Because of that I want to tell you about the NYFA reading in which I am taking part on June 10th at the Asian American Writers Workshop at 16 West 32nd Street. Here is the blurb.
NYFA Night
Thursday, June 10, 7 PM
The New York Foundation for the Arts and The Workshop present a full night of photographers, sculptors, poets and prose writers, all winners of 2003 individual artist grants. An hour-long curated event featuring Bruce Busby, Priya R. Chandrasekaran, Tina Chang, Che Chen, Quang Bao, Edward Garcia and Louis Reyes Rivera, plus special guests from The New York Foundation for the Arts.
Reception with prosecco and summer rolls follows
$5 suggested donation
@ the Workshop
This presentation is co-sponsored by Artists & Audiences Exchange, a public program of NYFA.
Each performer is going to be on for five or ten minutes so it shouldn't be boring. Come on out and get on the good side of the NYFA staff, they want to give you money.

I would argue that those people should have been features in the first place as the uppercase was late in recognizing them. As is probably still the case.
I knew you'll pull through.
Thanks I'll try.
