Thank you for your response to my recent reading at the White House Pub, and for taking my poem "In The End" for REVIVAL. I was re-energized as a performance poet by the chance to read live again, and very impressed with your local wordsmiths. Even now I am seeking copies of our "Windows Poets Anthology", covering the 7 years we ran a monthly reading at a wonderful pub on the Cumberland River in Nashville, TN. I'm sure you would enjoy the diversity of styles therein. Thanks again for making me feel at home, and I look forward to a long, satisfying friendship with the White House Poets.
Hello White House Poets! Thanks for the great reception at my recent reading. I just wanted you to know that the book I read from, SOMETHING WE CAN'T NAME: The Windows On The Cumberland Poets Anthology, is available from Mr. Andy Valentine, at highergroundis@comcast.net, for a very reasonable price. This book will give you a superb overview of the many great poets who graced our open mic in Nashville, TN for nearly 8 years. Thank you again for having me. I'm enjoy- ing the July Issue of REVIVAL a great deal, and look forward to returning to The White Horse again.
