Reading at Dahlak Paradise Ethiopian restaurant in West Philly — with David Jones and Tim Fitts, who both killed it. Thanks to David Hancock for inviting us. In my two years in Philadelphia I’d been to this reading series many times, just up Baltimore from our place, and it was a thrill to read here. Warren Longmire (amazing poet) challenged me to memorize a poem, and this was the first time I got through “Your Suitors” in public.
