CONNECTIONS

I remember this event occurring around this time of year (I don't remember the year). It was co-organized and run by the late great, and greatly missed, poet and poetry innovator and entrepreneur Merilene M Murphy. And the late great poet/performer/singer/songwriter/musician/etc. Yvonne de la Vega was on the bill too. In my time slot I read with Mello-Re Houston, who billed herself as Houston and sometimes as I remember it, Houston Blue, a poet whose work I found then, and do now even more, unique and powerful. The photo is of her and me at my reading at Beyond Baroque in December 2018.
