post pandemic world
now that we are emerging from the long dark tea time of the soul [phrase from douglas adams] & we stray out of our homes into the sunlight of a newly awakened day can we pretty please for heaven's sake with sugar on top keep at least some poetry readings on zoom & other digital platforms? i have attended more readings this past year than i ever could even if i had time money & means to travel to all these wonderful events held around the world. sure, i know, being face to face with the readers in an audience can't be bettered but damn! i love the intimacy of these digital readings for i can really focus on the words & music of the poetry. i have traveled the world via digital technology to readings that i couldn't possibly attend in the physical world. so please i beg of you please keep at least some of your reading series digital so that those of us who don't live in say s.f. or nyc or aukland or london or melbourne or belfast or timbuktu or tokyo or l.a. can attend these readings we citizens sans borders of the international republic of poetry.
