Brief note: A few weeks ago, I went on the road a bit with poets Alejandro Guitierrez and Amihan Aquino for a few readings on the East coast. I’ve had correspondence with both poets since 2017 but we weren’t able to coordinate our schedules to get anything organized. We’ve discussed continuing touring together at a later date.
The DC area was recently hit hard with thunderstorms and the several trees at Arlington National Cemetery were severely damaged. The Honor Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier didn’t miss a beat, continuing their tradition of marching and protected the Tomb through the thunderstorm. The phrase by Sun Tzu comes to mind “in the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity” which always brings a smile to my face.
I didn’t get a chance to spend a lot of time at Arlington or Washington DC but I will be back that way in November. Alejandro, Amihan, and I have also discussed continuing this tour at a later date.
I would like to thank our hosts as well as those in attendance for each one of these readings. Great turnout at each location, great performances by everyone involved.
On to the next event.
