Today was the book release for the Summation 17 anthology at the Escondido Art Gallery. This was a collection of poems written to accompany art in the gallery at the end of last year. It's a big volume of 170 pages. I have three poems in there.
Robt O'Sullivan Schleith was in charge of the anthology and the event. About 35 people showed up, and we started on page one ... page by page, if the artist or poet was in the house, they read their piece or talked about the art. I wasn't really in the mood to do readings, but sure, when my name came up we I was at the mike. It took about two hours to get through the whole presentation.
There is so much talent right here in Escondido. I don't know why I didn't know this had been going on for 16 years. I feel like I just barely be on the radar of the local arts scene, but I am still plagues by having no free time to invest in it.
