The Poetry Circus in Griffith Park on September 19 was incredible. Nicelle Davis gathered somewhere around 30 poets together for the program and made everything magical. I wish we could have a poetry circus every weekend! I loved hearing so many amazing poets perform their work.
I broke out my Jesus costume for the occasion, and I had a great time posing for photos and trading/selling copies of The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman. I read a poem from that collection and a poem from a new collection-in-progress. I got a collective “Amen” from the audience, and it was good. đŸ™‚
One person told me, “I’m sorry. I don’t believe in you.” I said, “That’s okay. I’m still here.”
