bluegargantuaHey,
So I finished reading Poetry Slam: The competitive Art of Performance Poetry and the title pretty much says it all. It wasn't terribly helpful in the practical art of organizing a poetry slam, but I was mainly in it for the poems.
Mixed bag. I'm more of a prose man myself and I can see where the delivery of a poem makes a world of difference compared to just reading it, but many of them seemed kinda flat. I'm thinking it'd be nice to have a CD of spoken word stuff, but it's actually kind of tricky to find stuff like that.
But at least I got a bit of poetry in for reading this year.
Next, the pipeline is chock full of Osprey Publications. Most of them are discussions about Tactics in WWII. There's also a discussion about Japanese island fortifications. Might this have anything to do with a desire to run a short Godlike game? Only time will tell.
later
Tom
