3/1/2002 reading snapshot


your bubbly editor was emcee and reader at SHAMPOO’s first reading.  he read a few poems to get warmed up, then invited Cassie Lewis up, and they both read back and forth a bit from their new book of postcard poems.

Del Ray Cross currently lives in San Francisco.  his first solo book, “Cinema Yosemite,” is just out from Pressed Wafer.  there’s his little plug.  Del is very thankful that he didn’t pass out from sheer ecstasy and nervous excitement before the reading was finished.
