Last week I was able to visit the KGB! Bar in New York City to see poet Shelley Stenouse read from her most recent publication. This was my first time to an author’s reading so I didn’t know what to expect. Other than arriving about fifteen-ish minutes late, everything went smoothly--if you like to stand in an over-crowed room or a staircase.
The place was packed. Let me repeat this, the place had bodies everywhere! I didn’t know that a poet would have such a fan base! This was actually a relief. It’s nice to see that people still respect good art.
Shelley’s poetry was, to say in fewer words, graphic. Listening from the staircase, I heard her talking about her pet turtle and dildos. Risqué is cool; she did it quite well. I do look forward to attending more readings, even at the uber packed KGB! Bar.
Glad you liked it.
