We've got a poster for the Makeout Creek retrospective September 23 #poetry #reading at the KGB Bar in Manhattan's Lower East Side, 7 p.m., and here it is with all the details. Hope to see you there. Oh P.S. It's #free! But tip your bartender.

Apollo and Zeus at The Iliad #Bookstore yesterday in North Hollywood, California. Very mellow, friendly #kitties in a great bookstore. Sorry I missed #Caturday but seeing these two--and buying #books -- made up for it.

If you enlarge the photo on the right, you can read my #poem "Disappearance" in the latest issue of the Milkweed #Poetry Journal. Published by the Milkweed Poetry Workshop of Warwick, N.Y., and not the famous Milkweed Editions. Thanks to the editors for publishing my poem.

I went to Berlin. A very sobering and enlightening trip. I'd argue more education, of the type Berlin has--public monuments, museums, markers to explain its 20th century history--are needed in the U.S. But the Alternative for Germany party is messing around there anyway. So I have no answers.

Had to look through my phone for a potential #author photo but this pic of my #cat is so much better. #catsofbluesky #cats

Posters at Poster House Museum in Chelsea/Manhattan today in an exhibit about #book drives for the soldiers in World War II. The #FreedomToRead #FirstAmendment distinguished the cause of American fighters battling the censorious, book-banning and -burning Nazis.

On this #Caturday, it's International Hug Your #Cat Day ( nationaltoday.com/internationa... ) though AI says it's also celebrated on June 4 (so you've been warned). In the meantime, I'll be busy hugging my #cats, posed here in the pre-hug stage!

Happy Bloomsday (especially to me & my record number of rejections, 3 last week while on vacation, & 1 today, to start the week off right. I think I'm going to go for nothing but rejections now). Photos were taken in Dublin last week. See if you can guess who the American is besides the statue.

P.S. The picture of Paul Rabinowitz from last night's First Floor Walk Up reading didn't reproduce on the original post so here it is. He's holding two of his books from Finishing Line Press: "Grand Street, Revisited" and "truth, love and the lines in between."
