Winter Break 12/28/2010
 
All the holiday festivities have left us short on time and shorter on after party material. We're taking the week off to celebrate New Year's and get organized again after Christmas. We'll be back on January 4, 2011 with lots of good stuff. In the meantime, happy New Year to all our listeners and contributors. Here's hoping your 2011 is full of peace and poetry.

After a couple of exciting nights at the museum, we're back to our usual routine this week--a handful of good poems and a little artsy after party. Both our poets read their own work, and I love their very different and marvelous voices. The three poems John reads will also be published in Southern Poetry Anthology, Volume III: Contemporary Appalachia, from Texas Review Press. In the after party, I expound on a little known art movement that exploded in my living room in 2001.

If you're thinking of submitting to Red Lion Square, read our interview with the editors, which was just posted at Duotrope.com.

This week, we conclude our coverage of the poetry readings at the Orlando Museum of Art's 1st Thursday event on December 2, 2010. The theme was "Life Out of Chaos," and poets and visual artists were invited to interpret that theme with works about the convergence of art and science, a challenge all the artists seemed to love. Unfortunately, our recorder cut out midway through this second set of readings, so we missed hearing from the final poet. Trevor, we'll get you in a future episode. In the meantime, we have slam poems from Jay Bradley, Alex Ruiz and Curtis Meyer, hosted by Tod Caviness. Give 'em a big hand, everybody!

On December 2, 2010, Red Lion Square had a chance to record poets reading at the 1st Thursdays event at the Orlando Museum of Art. The theme was "Life Out of Chaos," and it showcased visual art inspired by science. Friend of the podcast Jennifer Trapp displayed two exciting mixed media pieces, and eight Orlando-area poets, including your own Amy Watkins read science poems. There was so much good stuff going on that we couldn't fit it all in one episode, so we're splitting it over two weeks so you don't miss anything.

This week, we hear from Amy Watkins, Jesse Jay Ross, John Conolley and the consummate poetry host Tod Caviness.
