Jim Cory reads from Have You Seen This Man?

Don Yorty6 years ago9 months ago06 mins

… What are friends for? When you are dead and gone, sometimes someone advocates for your remembrance, giving your past a present, an amazing accomplishment when the word lives. Through serendipity and fate, Bryan Borland and Seth Pennington, publishers at Sibling Rivalry Press in Little Rock, became aware of the poetry of Karl Tierney, who…

Don Yorty8 years ago3 years ago08 mins

… I went to Bryant Park to hear some poets read one evening last week and was happily surprised by a poet I didn’t know from San Francisco, Kazumi Chin, reading from his new book, Having A Coke With Godzilla, published by Sibling Rivalry Press. I didn’t start to video Kazumi until he was half…

Kaveh Akbar reads at the Poetry Project: April 2, 2017

Don Yorty8 years ago2 years ago04 mins

… I asked Kaveh Akbar if I could video him while he read at the Poetry Project and he said yes. All I had was my iPhone, but I put it to use, shooting him vertically, not horizontally because I was up close and Kaveh is tall. I’d heard him read last year at KGB,…
