alleluia for Eberhardt... shoots from the hip, reads for the hip,
is hip. Hip hip hooray for a reading well arranged and mounted by dave frog-in-bog. Reading took place and was well attended despite a raging windstorm outside. I avoided getting a parking ticket despite parking opposite the bookstore and lacked the change, hurried in not wishing to be late. I think the event went well because each poet presented a good variety of works and read strongly. Reginald Harris, featured in the latest issue of
Loch Raven Review, ended the reading performing some jazz-tinged works, including singing some lines that echoed the black community of Baltimore and jazz influences. Look for an interview with him coming up in the Spring issue of
LRR. Photographs below kindly provided by dave frog-in-bog.

In wrapt attention. . . .
