Cohost Andrew Huff's grandmother passed away in May at 97. His haiku at the June show were a remembrance of her.
My grandmother died
having lived in two countries:
Italy and here.
She immigrated
at 8, speaking no English,
to near Taylor Street.
No one in her class
would speak to her -- none except
a little black boy.
She left Taylor Street
and then Austin, in white flight,
for "safe" Mount Prospect.
In Arizona,
widowed, Fox News her comfort,
she never forgot.
Racism, fear, hate
melted away when she thought
of that kind black boy.
Bartender Leah refilled our drinks, and cohost Andrew Huff got the second half started with some haiku about his late grandmother. Then Sara Ross Witt shared a portion of the witchy YA book she's working on, and Elizabeth Gomez rounded out the evening with an essay about love and self-image.
If you weren't there, you missed a good one once again. But never fret, your favorite eclectic monthly reading series will be back in the upstairs bar at Hopleaf on Tuesday, July 3, with readings by Ted McClelland, Siobhan Adcock, Alison Thumel, Tiffany Gholar and Mary Winn Heider. There's bound to be fireworks — join us, won't you?
Come squander this nice weather by sitting indoors with a beer, basking in the glow of the brightest live lit this city has to offer! We've got Joshua Landsman, we've got Tracy Harford-Porter, we've got Mark Rader and Sara Ross Witt AND Elizabeth Gomez! And of course, Andrew Huff and Eden Robins will be there the whole time, too.
