Reading + inspiration

July 9, 2010 in Uncategorized | No comments

Tonight, I’m attending and reading at the launch of Floating Bridge Review 3, over at Jack Straw Studios, 7:00 PM.

Hearing and reading poetry is always exciting, but tonight I’m going to read a poem or two inspired by work, my day job. Imagine Dilbert plus a prose poem in a Russian novel. Yes, my work inspired that.

What else is inspiring?

I’ll admit that I’m an absolute sucker for this, the kind of marketing videos that tell someone’s story. Yes, they’re marketing, but I love the stories. (And in this case, I love the fact that Microsoft made a video that includes poetry!)

Check it out, and if you’re in Seattle tonight, swing by Jack Straw and hear lots of poetry.

And let me know: What inspires you?
