So tonight I went to see Christina Davis and Tom Thompson read poems at KGB Bar. Going to these readings on Monday nights at 7:30 is becoming a tradition for me, and it's very fun, especially since I'm trying to hone my own poetic skills little by little.
Anyway, I thought Tom Thompson's poems were a little bit pretentious for my taste, but Christina Davis really impressed me. I bought her book, Forth A Raven, published by Alice James Books, after the reading. I suggest checking out excerpts from Forth A Raven here.
Next week at KGB Bar is an evening dedicated to The Oxford Book of American Poetry, edited by David Lehman, who was my Great Poems professor last year.
