I will be reading at Sweetwaters as a part of the Writers Reading at Sweetwaters series tonight (Tuesday, November 17th) at 7 pm. The room is a bit small, so please arrive early for a seat. Don’t forget to bring work to share at the open mike.

The reading is hosted by the lovely Chris Lord and Esther Hurwitz. Thank you again for the invite!

Hush Bra Store Reading Challenge: CONGRATS TO LAUREN TURNER!

Update: Lauren Turner’s funny bra-inspired poem won her the book. (Read it below.) Congratulations!

 

 

I look forward to seeing you in Brighton, MI on Thursday, April 30^th for my Hush bra store poetry reading. For more details, please click here.

 

In the spirit of literature and bras, I will be offering a copy of Ilana Stranger-Ross’ wonderful novel Sima’s Undergarments for Women to the reader who posts the funniest bra-related joke in the comments section below.

 

Readers are welcome to chime in and vote for their favorite. You are encouraged to post more than one joke. The deadline has been extended to Friday, May 1st at noon.

 

Visit the author’s website .

 

You can read more about the book on Overlook Publisher’s website and buy the book on Amazon.

 

Ready? Set? Go!

 

 

 

Here are some great comments I received via Facebook:

 

The funbags themselves are the joke. (KC)

 

Poem by Lauren Turner:

Boobies bouncing in the breeze;
Moist, maternal mammaries.
A source of life that fills with awe.
We get it—now, put on a bra!

 

In response to my FB and my fiance’s FB announcement that I’ll be reading a new bra poem and an underwear poem:  

 

– The bra poem isn’t a limerick, is it? 😉 (Debbie)

– I hope you’ll share. Ode to a brassiere. The older you get, the more you like a good one. except of course when you don’t! (Ann)

– “Ode to a Jock Strap”? (Lauren)

– “just another love thong….’ (Celia)

– The German word for bra: “keepzimtitzfromfloppin” (Not sure the spelling is quite right, as my German is weak, but this should be close) (Jim)

– Over the shoulder boulder holder? (Seth)

Poetry reading in a bra store. Yes, a bra store.

Girls, and boys if you can stand it, I hope you’ll join me for two short readings at Hush Intimate Apparel in Brighton, MI.  

 

Lisa M. Nelson, the generous owner, will be hosting a Mother / Daughter Event in anticipation of Mother’s Day. On April 30^th at 6:30 pm and again at 8 pm, I’ll give a ten minute reading of my own mother poems (all positive, of course) and read some famous poems, too. Any requests?

 

I’ll be available to discuss personalized wedding poems and other special occasion poems, too.

 

Raise your hand if you’ve always had a love hate (or hate hate) relationship with that pesky undergarment that can make (or break) an outfit?

 

That’s what I thought.

 

Hush is an amazing concept. It is a store dedicated to helping women find the right size bra. They offer cup sizes AA through K and band sizes 30 thru 52. That equals over 200 sizes available. Wow. Where were they my whole life? With special brands you won’t find at department stores, every woman will find her fit.

 

Where’s the dressing room? I’m ready.

 

See you there!

In the news: On the Radio with Roland

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. TruVue Radio host Roland interviewed a number of poets for Valentine’s Day. If you missed the live broadcast, you can listen to the archived version here.

During my interview, I read three poems (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner), which I wrote for my fiance’ as a birthday present this past November.

Keep listening to hear Weddings by Artists’ custom song writer Anna Huckabee Tull’s interview and song.

Thanks for tuning in!
