FreeWrights Peer Review™

Hi all

Co-editor of Loch Raven Review, editor of Desert Moon Review, editor of Ripperologist, an editor at Writer's Block, Co-editor of the Journal of the War of 1812, songwriter, and a medical editor in Washington, D.C. by day. Whew! Is there anything this guy does not do!!!!!

I will be reading my poetry at Clayton Fine Books in Baltimore on Sunday, May 18, at 3:00 p.m. in a new (though short-lived) poetry/prose series 2 HEADS (with the tag line: Collaborating With Ourselves) that Reggie Harris and Rosemary Klein are hosting.

The concept is to feature writers with "day jobs" that, for the most part, appear (at least at first glance) to be different from their artistic proclivities. Each featured writer will be responsible for putting together a minimum of 30 minutes of his/her work interspersed with comments/insights as to how that work is or isn't influenced by the "day job." An audience/writer Q&A will follow the reading.

The 2 HEADS Series will take place at (and in support of as it's closing in 7 months and will be a real loss) Clayton Fine Books, 317 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21201, 410-752-6800. This bookstore/cafe, in a charmingly renovated two-story building, offers some 35,000 out-of-print books in literature, fine arts, history, and biography.

It would be great to see any FreeWrights Forum members who are in hailing distance of Baltimore at this event!

All the best

Chris

Each featured writer will share his/her work interspersed with comments/insights as to how that work is or isn't influenced by the "day job." An audience/writer Q&A follows the reading.

The 2 HEADS Series will take place at (and in support of as it's closing in 7 months and will be a loss dearly felt) Clayton Fine Books (Cam and Donna Northouse, proprietors). This bookstore/café (just a hop, skip, jump from the Enoch Pratt Free Library), in a charmingly renovated two-story building, offers some 35,000 out-of-print books in literature, fine arts, history, and biography.

The 2 HEADS Series is offered on the Third Sunday of the month at 3 p.m. - beginning May 18 and running through October 19.

So, please plan to join us and grab a sandwich, soup, or snack while sipping some of the amazing coffees and teas at the wonderful café that’s part of Clayton Fine Books.

~~ Day Job: Medical editor at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in Washington, D.C. since 2000.

Your cheerful hosts for The 2 HEADS Series are Reginald Harris and Rosemary Klein - operating under the aegis of The Maryland State Poetry & Literary Society (MSP&LS) and Three Conditions Press.

Very best of luck with this, Chris -- the project sounds quite fascinating, breaking down the stereotype of "the poet" (since none of us can afford NOT to have a day job now :) )

Baltimore's a wee bit too long a jaunt for me, I'm afraid.

Good luck, although you don't need it. Great pic of you and the spouse.

We are improving with age.

Thanks for the best wishes, bluejay.
