A poetry reading in Amityville? That church is a few blocks from where I went to high school. In fact, they once let my band use their rehearsal space (I think the bass player was a Methodist).
You will come, Gary? Or maybe to the one in Manhattan on Sunday? Your friend, Consuelo, may as well! I hope to see you one day soon, poetry reading or no!
I’d love to come, but I’ll be in Massachusetts this weekend. I miss bumping into you on campus. Hope to see you soon — I think I’ll be on campus in a few weeks — I’ll let you know when.
