I Will Read Better than Elizabeth Alexander & Won't Even Mention God Once

The Last Inaugural Ball - Lamoureux & Peterson @OUtposT 186 Saturday 1/24/09 3 PM

You see it don't you? Feel it? It's all different now. And you might be pooped out by all your inaugural ballin'. But, there's one more. Mark Lamoureux and Katie Peterson are change we can believe in. And in the spirit of change, get affiliated with the Unaffiliated Reading series as we add a venue to our list. The poets will trade off wearing Aretha Franklin's hat. Light refreshments will help us usher in Change.

I won't, however, look as good in that hat.

That heading needs to be its own poem.
