Brian Jackson reads from his new book today and Brian sounds like Jim Morrison! For those who have heard tapes of The Doors legend reading his poetry ... his voice is mesmerizing and beautiful. So, Poets in the Parlor today is a 2 o'clock treat. Only an hour of your day. (Plus, Brian used to hang with some of the Beat Poets like Allen Ginsberg. Yes, you heard me right.) Head on down to the Vachel Lindsey Home on South Sixth Street and take a listen. Enjoy, and then tell Brian I sent ya. Remember ideas/comments to [email protected]. Poems for posting on my blog to [email protected].
