In the spirit of Extra Extra! , if anyone is interested, I recorded a reading that strings together many of the poems in my new book and a previous one, along with a bunch more extra extra content that didn't make it into either book.

It was great reading about his latest WIP. This post was also timely—it fits in perfectly with my blog post today so I linked to it. https://michellehbarnes.blogspot.com/2019/11/welcome-to-fun-factory.html Thanks Sylvia and Calef!Michelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-46271656749047072262019-11-08T17:51:21.604-06:002019-11-08T17:51:21.604-06:00I read through it all, then again to capture some ...I read through it all, then again to capture some of the poems I'd like to share with my older granddaughter, who loves quirky things, & I don't think she knows about Calef Brown's work, and now she will. So much fun to read the post, Calef, and laugh with the words like "Albert Einszweidrei."

You know that old question about who you'd want at your dream literary dinner party? Me being a reserved person more often thinks about whose BRAIN I'd like to wander around in... Calef's brain is definitely on my list! Thank you both for sharing, and happy poetry Friday!

It was also fascinating (and validating) to learn that sometimes Calef pursues projects, like his historical figures mash-ups, for his own creative edification not knowing if they will be publishable.
