A Poet's Life

I attended a poetry show on Saturday evening at Beyond Baroque in the hipster land of Venice Beach. It was a virgin like experience as I walked inside the lions den of live poetry but I was really impressed. This cat, Derrick Brown is the real deal. All the poets who performed were witty, punchy, and real crowd pleasers. I failed to buy the books after the show but plan on ordering Brown's collection off his site. Check out Write Bloody publishing and Brown Poetry for more info.

Brown will be performing at Open Books in Long Beach on Saturday, February 19th. Be there. Ok now it's ROMANCE TIME...
