On August 26, six Taddle Creek authors were showcased at the Pivot reading series, which happens most Wednesdays at The Press Club. I've been to Pivot readings before, but never in an official capacity, so I was particularly excited about this one. The evening was warm, the audience was rapt, and the readers were mesmerizing. Or maybe that was the lamp behind them, which was apparently ineffective to light the pages they were reading but did create an eerie backlit effect. I suggested that Pivot invest in a headlamp for its authors. Nothing makes a poet look more serious than a good headlamp.
