the following are two pics from doug blazek's reading last week. i tried to post more but the fucking software is not cooperating. blaz's poems have gone thru a metamorphic shift in the decades since he founded ole magazine. subjects include quantum physics, language and even a few poems dedicated to his new wife, rachel. it was fantastic. blaz was in great form. my only complaint was that the reading was rather short. it seemed to just begin when it was over. and doug reads only once every few years.

but doug is scheduled to read on april 10 at moe's books in berkeley with michael palmer. i think it is his first reading out of town in ages.

the photos are doug with richard hansen, and doug and his wife rachel.
