Exploring the Source

March 4, 2010

This open mic reading was the seventh in the Exploring the Source series. Lisa Moore started us out with a found poem called �Texas Taboos-a found poem: topics forbidden on Texas Reading tests.� She continued with a reminiscing poem entitled �The Guitar Lesson� that is sure to elicit fond remembrances of the 60�s and 70�s. She finished with 3 short poems which included some recent work. Judy Torrico, a newcomer to the series, recited a personal poem with an intimate candor. Sharon Smith Abbott returned with several poems including a scenic journey in �Winter Landscapes�. Eric Dibner began by reciting the words of Les Kaye, a zen priest, that resonated fully with many of us. Then he sang/recited in his characteristic way a variety of poems including �Listen� and �What She Wants�. Margie Jansz concluded the reading with a few of her thoughtful poems, including a humorous poem about the Great-Tailed Grackle bird.
