Regie Gibson at the 2008 Mass Poetry Fest

by Lynne at 9:33 am.

If you didn’t come to the special reading last night featuring Rhina P. Espaillat, Regie Gibson, and Nick Flynn, you missed out. But here’s a taste of Regie Gibson reciting his poem, “How to Become an Ex-Jehovah’s Witness Without Losing Your Mind.” (Since I don’t have the text in front of me, I’m not sure how he spells out his title). Take a listen.

(PS: sorry for the poor quality, but the room had ambient noise and the mikes weren’t the greatest!)

Also, don’t miss today’s free and special events! So far the Mass Poetry Fest has been a resounding success, and I’m glad I get to take it all in.
