In Columbia, South Carolina Trustus, will host the first poetry reading the theater has held–a performance of poems from Brains 25 ¢, Drive In. March 2, 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. 520 Lady Street, The Side Door Theater.  No charge for admission. Books will be for sale and signing.

My wife, actor Sarah Barker, will add her voice to the poems. Stevie Patt Mississippi Kites Music, Lyrics, Songs, and Videos brings a sweet blues guitar to the party.

The selection is divided into five parts: 1) Welcome, 2) Concrete Poems, (poems with stones and clay), 3) Poems Dedicatory (poems to artists and writers), 4)Curses, Prayers, and Blessings, and 5) Finale.

There will be refreshments, but brains will not be served. If you want some, BYOB = Bring Your Own Brains. Of course, you’ll bring the brain in your cranium. But I’m talking about the edible kind—lamb, pig, calf, cow—each equally tasty.
