Thanks to Samantha Giles and Small Press Traffic for graciously hosting over fifty poets on the longest day of the year. It was hosted in the gorgeous garden of the hospitable Juliana Spahr. It was lovely to see so many poets laughing together in one space and to feel community in the often-too-distancing SF realm. Genine Lentine was particularly hilarious, and Owen and I hope to woo her as well as some others for Lone Glen this summer….I read a poem about Sisyphus and one about time (we only got five minutes). This was my second year at Endless Summer….what an inspiring space.
