In Good Company - gala poetry reading

i had my reading, to open the poetry section of this festival, last night and it went amazingly well. the women who read with me were beautiful, talented, bright, and each brought a brave and musical voice - it was totally inspiring. ah, and to those of you who showed up to support me - THANKS. you keep me burning.

it's so powerful to read in a room, surrounded by pictures and poetry by women from the past and present, and also by the voices of women ... to hear the audience sigh, laugh, or grunt - moved to sound a reaction ... to look up into an audience that is closing their eyes to invision the spoken images - letting them work like in dreams ... what an evening.

to the fagans who have played such a major role sponsoring this festival so that women artists may be seen and heard, specifically in london - cheers!

p.s. i thought wonderwoman would fit well with the theme of woman pursuing their artistic aspirations!
