use the email link, above, to inquire. Please put your name and mine in the

all! Be advised there are two shows the 7-ish and 830-ish. The first runs
until about 830; the second starts thereafter! One can use the
Facebook page, link above, for information or contact me via the email link,

venues I attend often enough to list them below. The information for them

MoorÕs event – I feature Zoom 730 PM Third Thursday of the Month, 7:15pm -
9pm readings nowÉbut we have created a hybrid systemÉ * I enjoyed reading science fiction
growing up, but because of money issues I read what was then the older, and
much cheaper, books from the mid 50Õs. * My first poem was a result of a
waking dream that I instantly became intensely interested in keeping a record
of. It was five sheets of binder
paper long, was a masterpiece, had everything in it – yet – I
revised it about 20 times. What I learned was that although the poem was
essentially unchanged the words themselves had all been changed so much that
no original text existed. *I have long been fascinated by
stellar displays. The first time I, an urban child, went to the mountains and
saw the Milky Way was astounding. *&Politics and poetry, there are
times when I wish they were never confluent. 04 – 28 – 2022 Thursday 4/28/22 I feature! 11:30 PST I go on at 1pm PST Debbie McNamara is inviting you to a

and BeckettÕs Zoom room. The show begins at 7pm; email me for the meeting
number and pw information. http://www.creativeideasforyou.com/emailpage.html About Dan
Brady, as a poet: I love writing;
itÕs great fun, good for the heart, mind and health. IÕm fascinated by how
words fit together, chime, rhyme and flow from one to the next. I write
because I cannot be silent; how could one be in this world? IÕve a theory:
the right set of words, presented in the right setting is one of the ways
civilization evolves. I ever improve my craft and seek such words so, should
the opportunity arise, IÕll present that which may transform my life and or
the lives of others. Honored by small
press publication and in contests, IÕm in the PoetÕs Eleven Series and S.F.
Peace and HopeÕs anthology. IÕve ties with the Bay Area PoetÕs Coalition, the
Haiku Poets of Northern California, led workshops, featured at venues in and
around San Francisco and support the poetry community 03– 05 –
