about

"It's got to be the liviest poetry reading in the last two years." A member of the audience heard at the end. This is a wow of a reading. Defense Mechanism was just out. This reading was at the Living Batch Bookstore in Albuquerque. I recorded it and just now got the cassette tape onto my recorder and then the computer.
