Airport Poem (twitter sonnet)

Airport Poem (twitter sonnet)

A man felt me up and then I got into a silver tube.
I’m reading a book where people fall elaborately in love and everybody dies.
On a plane once I read Cannery Row, one of the few books I’ve read twice.
I’ve read Jesus’ Son tens of times but never on a plane.
It’s too good for that.
A book about land, being on it, and trying not to get erased from it.
At an art show the artist did a presentation on the Third Throne.
The artwork not the book.
He should have left well enough alone, but did a pseudo religious performance anyway.
His videos where good, though.
I read East of Eden on a plane.
I prefer science fiction now because I’m worried about what’s going to happen to us.
At the counter we got breakfast and the total was twenty thirteen.
The year we’ll have a baby, I said.

Readings on Knox Wirter’s House.

Dan Boehl

Last summer I did a reading in Minnesota, and while I was there did a recording of some work for the Knox Writer’s House. They have a ton of interviews with poets talking about their home towns and reading their poems. And hand-draw portraits of everyone. I like mine, though it makes me look like I have a black beard. (I am blond!)

My business partners Chris Tonelli and Matt Rasmussen were interviewed a long with me here.

Check out me reading poems here, here, and here.
