Note to self: Before appearing as a guest at a poetry event, find out how to pronounce obscure words gleaned from dictionary.com before the reading. This may reduce anxiety and/or anxiety.
Also: Don’t do readings on Oscar nights. Especially not in a pub with a huge switched off TV to taunt you. Did anyone see Abby? She was wearing a pink almost red dress...
First fantasy/sci-fi movie to win best film. Ever. Can you believe that?
Yes, I saw Abby, a tiny flicker on the edge of the screen, kissing Joe before he went up. Sorry I didn't come to hear you read. It was just down the road from me, but I too had to watch the Oscars.
