Report #25 - 03 August 2009


This week's poem "Astronomy, 1:07 AM" was written at the Hamilton St. Pub in Saginaw, after listening to a public radio news report on black holes earlier in the day. NPR and PBR have a way of mixing in a poet's brain. I chose this poem to celebrate International Canned Beer Month, which takes place each August. Of course, in this poem, I'm drinking bottles rather than cans. I have another poem that has a can of beer in it, but in that poem I'm specifically not drinking it. Anyway, happy ICBM!

Music this week is "Break Tune" from Spirits in the Field by the Arthur Blythe Trio: Blythe on alto sax, Bob Stewart on tuba, and Cecil Brooks III on drums.
