Local poet Chris Franke would fall into the category of broadside poet in my mind. He is handing out single sheets of work all the time - I think Bree has published some too outta Green Panda.<br /><br />It should also be noted that broadside refers to a form of transmission rather than a form of poetry.michael salingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717310933948991992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5641117771707843067.post-6691688228884708122009-10-05T13:55:05.537-04:002009-10-05T13:55:05.537-04:00query for MS :

It's about ten minutes - just under the maximum length You Tube allows for uploaded videos - so I didn't have to chop it up into individual poems as do with my footage from most of our featured readers.

We had a blast, and I think everyone else did, too! Our features <i>and</i> our audience were outstanding. My husband said the headcount was 72 at one point, early in the show. The vibes were fantastic!<br /><br />As John has pointed out, we were biding time with the announcements, as I had phoned Leah and knew that although delayed, she was just minutes away from arriving. So we improvised! We've been striving to get started on real time, not poet time, lol. ;-) <br /><br />I'm working on a blog about the show- stay tuned!

Above all, thanks for your presence. Even though my birthday isn't officially until the 17th, this already ranks with my best ever.<br /><br />As you see, we're better about starting on time than we were last year. Generally, I would sprinkle the announcements throughout the evening more so folk wouldn't have to swallow so much at one time. But Leah'd gotten hung up at work and had to arrive slightly late, so....<br /><br />What Russ read was indeed a "rhapsody" of numerous pieces from various eras of his poetic career - some I recognized from his and Jim Lang's joint chapbook <i>Duelling Poets</i>, a couple others I recognized from open mic readings, and some I'd not heard before. Though I would have liked the opportunity to applaud his individual poems, I was impressed by the way he seamlessly and innovatively strung them together - he made the new(er) pieces seem like old friends and I thought his rhapsodic context breathed new life into poems that were indeed old friends. Then again, I haven't had the benefit of being acquainted with his (or any other Cleveland poet's) work for twenty years. ;)<br /><br />The gentleman from the <a href="http://www.ohiopoetryassn.com" rel="nofollow">Ohio Poetry Association</a> is Michael Schurch from Marion. And I believe Brian MacDougall was the one wearing the Pi shirt. Nice to see folks from Ashtabula, Mansfield, Columbus, Toledo, Detroit, and especially Cleveland in attendance! And the collaborative poem (to which over 100 poets contributed) is one of the best birthday gifts I've ever received. I thoroughly enjoyed Leah's, Russ' and David's featured offerings - as well as our somewhat longer-than-usual 30-poet open mic. But "the best part of the trip" (to steal a phrase from another L.A. poet) was the love and friendship I felt coming from most everyone in that room.
