Then, like so very many events, in-the-flesh readings became impossible. So we discovered Zoom Readings! Which, I have to admit, I am enjoying. I loved Kevin Prufer and Martha Collins' Zoom reading a few weeks back, and Terry Provost and Nicole Robinson's Youngstown Lit reading last month. So I was very ready when Karen asked me to read this week on Zoom. You can join us there or at the Youngstown Lit Facebook site, which will have it live on July 1st at 7:00 p.m. or as a video to view later if you can't make it.
Here is one of the ekphrastic poems I am going to read, "Two Sisters" along with the painting by Spanish artist Maria Blanchard that the poem is based on:https://www.ekphrastic.net/ekphrastic/maria-blanchards-two-sisters-by-diane-kendig
And to the left is the personal photo the poem refers to.
I am very sorry, however, that I won't be able to serve my gingersnaps and dip. You'll have to get your own. Here:
