Poetry in Baltimore

This is so much more alive and vibrant in Baltimore than here. I was invited along to a Reading and invited to read a piece of my own work, this in turn led to being invited to three other Readings and to read at each of the, size varied on how many people were reading work, from 2 pieces to 6, it was really good, scary but enjoyable, and my work was received well. I also had the opportunity to go to a Day Workshop, writers and musicians it was a very valuable day. made lots of contacts.
I strongly believe if i am going to get anywhere with my writing it will be based in Baltimore, where I can fraternise with many like minded people, rather than being isolated here. I feel 100% alive there, maybe being on the ocean which is my element, and my man being there, but it somehow just feels right.
I have spent the morning working on Postcards from Baltimore vol 2 (Winter), and so far pleased with where I am at, much more work to do, pulling thm into the shape I want, but I am getting there.
Also thought of a few more ideas for the new book, somehow it feels to be coming together.
O.K. so I must go back to working on Poems.
