Also this weekend: I spent Saturday in the park a the Watershed Environmental Poetry Festival. This year's lineup was great, with Robert Hass, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Pattiann Rogers, George Keithley, Lucille Lang Day, Marc Bamuthi Joseph, Peter Warshall, and musical entertainment from Bekka's Frogland Orchestra.
It was a great day - perfect temperature, started out cold and dewey, but turned into a beautiful, sunny, not too hot, excellent for a day outside sort of day. I thought the break out crowd favorite (and definitely my favorite) poet was Marc Bamuthi Joseph. He's part of a great program called youth speaks. Check it out at http://www.youthspeaks.org/ and if you're interested in supporting a great program - you can do it through that website too.
