On September 24th from 1-3pm at the D-note in Arvada there will be a reading featuring a number of Denver poets from 1-3pm. In our “Be the change…” reading, these poets will be voicing their ideas about the direction their words are trying to create in our community and the world.
Hi Piper,
Hope the reading went well! I am a local Colorado poet operating out of Steamboat Springs. I am looking to market my books on the Front Range ~ any ideas.
Here is a piece for free!
Waampum
American dollars spread thin
Like cold jam on stale bread
Between logs and people
Black as pitch on Indian kayaks
From B to W
And back to the Tex-arab-i-cans
Holy from recognition
Green and black
Spilling like water
In rivulets and streams
On deserts here and there
Seeping into the cracks
Juicing the mossy clingers
Blue then red then black
Still we spin, and stash, and hope
As it soaks up the Sun
On liver-spotted flesh
Losers and flowers
Wave on the breeze
Tell it to the wind
Gold, red, white and blue, and black
Final Edit – 9-23-2011
POWER TO THE PEACEFUL!!!
