Oh well, it could be worse.

I once curated a reading at the Flying Saucer Cafe where no one came. Literally no one, until the second half of the reading when Rachel Levitsky dropped in. What amazed me about that reading was how brilliant the performance that Marianne Vitali, Todd Colby, and one more member of “The Yogurt Boys” gave despite the fact that I was the only person in the audience.

The audience at Ceres was actually extremely warm and receptive. They came up to me afterwards to talk about lines and details in my poems. They were in some ways rather nicer than a typical poetry audience.
