Welcome to San Francisco’s Open Mic Poetry Podcast/TV show and welcome to Moe’s Bookstore in Berkeley. This is a Poetry Flash magazine poetry reading taking place there at Moe’s. Cynthia Kraman is reading. Cynthia’s fourth book of Poems is out which is “The Touch”. Cynthia’s life has faced some extremes. She, began a Punk Rock Group called “China’s Comidas” which roughly translates as Chinese Food. On the other side of her life she has a P.H.D. in Medieval Literature. Richard Silberg of Poetry Flash has said that those extremes can be found in her poetry. Quoting Richard, he said, “At the same time as Cynthia has ‘elan, she has formalism and structure too.” He further said that her impetuosity helps define her strict form. I, John Rhodes will close the show with a poem or two from one of my books. The public access station no longer has a studio to record in but fortunately I have some Professional camcorders and the show is continuing. Please be understanding in the sense that I am still getting used to the new set up. The sound is the hardest. You might notice some improvements too. I am giving up the fake Bluescreen backdrops for regular backdrops which will increase the resolution on large TV screens. I also have a new web site I created specifically for “Poetry Flash” at www.poetryflashvideos.blip.tv, so please check that out.
