ffwhite | The long, strange trip

I had a book signing and poetry reading last weekend at the Newark Public Library! It was a fantastic event, due in no small part to the participation many veteran poets of the tri-state area, Combat Paper, and the curator of special collections at the library (Jared Ash) who brought out the Combat Paper pieces they had collected over the years. It was, in a word, beautiful.

Sometime later, I'll add some videos to my youtube channel, assuming we can edit them - the crowd was, at times, pretty loud.

Following this, my wedding, my wife's graduation and thesis in manhattan, and moving to manhattan, I've returned to the west coast for a while. I intend on tracking down the Combat Paper people here, and maybe figuring out a reading or signing here. But it has been a long strange trip. I have had scarcely enough time to write just to keep up.
