Earlier this evening I enjoyed a poetry reading organized by Nelly Reifler at Barbes.I'm a fan of Bill Corbett's literary and understated humor and relish the way he invites you into an ongoing conversation with his poetic lineage.
A few memorable lines:
"Age magnifies failure" and "I always go commando deserving everyone's love"
I hadn't heard Stuart Dischell's work before, and it was a very nice fit with Corbett's. I was particularly taken by a poem about things the writer wants after a birthday.
Some memorable lines: "Should I take the rodent perspective?", quoting a former and influential teacher, "'the secret of poetry is cruelty'" and "It was death in its weather."
