A cinematic poem hits the silver screen

I don’t think I’ve ever come across a poem being converted to film — aside from the major epics like Beowulf or The Odyssey. But Howlbased on this interviewlooks like it will blaze some new ground.

Poets on a Wednesday night

It was a wonderful evening of poetry last night in Woodbridge, where I read as part of the long-running PoetsWednesday series.

Paul Sohar was my fellow feature — the second time we shared a bill — and he was funny, philosophical, wonderfully absurd and a perfect counterpart to my dark, concrete and politically focused poetry. I suggest everyone check his work out.

The open reading offered some good work, as well, including a performance of “Rock Candy Mountain” by Mark Brunetti. Brunetti will be featured Sunday along with Barbara Crooker at the River Read poetry series at the Dublin House in Red Bank at 2.

Thanks to Deb LaVeglia for her efforts — and her amazing antiwar poem. Keep up the good work.

The poetry series at the South Brunswick Library will return Sept. 19 with the Cool Women. The reading starts at 2 p.m. and is followed by an open reading. Susanna Rich and Carole Stone are on tap for Oct. 17.
