Savor the Confluence

Posted on 2024-05-02 by Bartholomew Barker

I’m proud to announce that one of my poems was included in the anthology Savor: Poems for the Tongue! by Friendly City Books. I haven’t received my contributor’s copy yet but it looks like a delicious collection of food poems.

(BTW, if you like food poems, I published a chapbook of them a few years ago called Milkshakes and Chilidogs.)

And, for my readers in the Triangle of North Carolina, I’ll be performing at the Confluence Exhibit opening reception tomorrow in Pittsboro from 6pm to 9pm with a bunch of my favorite poets from Living Poetry. We all wrote poems to the objets d’art in the exhibition. I’ll be reading One, the poem-a-day I posted April 13th. Hope to see you there.
