Poetry at The Pink Door March 31, 2008

Next Monday March 31, 2008 it will be time for another poetry reading at The Pink Door brought to you by Sarabande Books. This month's reading features Louisville poet Lynnell Edwards and Louisville singer-songwriter Brigid Kaelin. It's an all "Louisville produces kick-ass artists" show.

From the press release:

If you don't yet know about Lynnell Edwards, you definitely should.  She is the author of two books of poetry, both published by Red Hen Press, The Farmer's Daughter and The Highwayman's Wife.  Lynnell's poems are by turns graceful, tough, and downright funny. . . . to give you a taste of her work, I've pasted one of my favorite poems by her below.  (She wrote it to her son after seeing him watch an all-female version of Fear Factor in which the women were coaxed into walking through a box of reptiles to hunt out gold coins.)

Brigid Kaelin will follow. Known for her clever songwriting and energetic live show, Brigid is also a seriously trained musician. You may come to the show for her red hair, and you may laugh at the yodeling. But then you'll be completely amazed by her virtuosic chops on the accordion, piano, guitar, and musical saw, and suddenly you'll realize that you love her songs too. Part vaudeville, part rock, Kaelin writes killer songs and knows how to entertain.
