My first poetry 'gig'
08/07/2011 02:28 p.m.
Tonight will be the first time I'll be reading poetry as an 'invited' reader. One of my poems was published in this year's edition of the 'San Diego Poetry Annual', and I've been invited to read it at a local book store reading. I'm a little nervous -- I've done open mike nights before but never actually been specifically invited to read. I know the work of some of the others invited and I hope I can measure up with their performances. Also, I don't know for sure if we're expected to read more of our work, and have been having a hard time selecting other pieces.

Anyway, I'll be practicing and fretting the day away -- wish me luck!
