17 Poets! presented a display of New Orleans literary magazines and bric-a-brac dating back to the early 20th Century on Sept. 1, together with a panel drawing together host Dave Brinks with fellow notable local poets Bill Lavendar, Lee Meitzen Grue, Dennis Formento, Kalamu ya Salaam, John Clarke and Dr. Jerry Ward. Below is a podcast of the discussion panel. It’s unedited audio directly from my digital recorder (I’m not an audio tech) so apologies in advance for any quality issues.

"You got to be a spirit! You can't be no ghost."
Abolish your notions about poetry.
Begin again.
I write about myself with the same pencil and in the same exercise book as about him. It is no longer I, but another whose life is just beginning. – Samuel Beckett (1906-1989)

About Toulouse Street

Toulouse Street began as a memoir of place, subtitled Odd Bits of Life in New Orleans, an attempt to capture "the savor of the genie-soul of the place which every place has or is not a place,"^* Leopold Bloom crossing Royal Street.

Over time is has grown in strange ways. It is, to borrow novelist Tim O'Brien's line: A Fiction. It is loosely based on the life of a man of late middle age racing frantically towards and away from death. Any apparently auto-biographical bits are about "me", The Typist, in the sense that the ringing of wind chimes is about the weather.

Any resemblance to persons living or dead is chronologically orthogonal.

Odd Words was birthed in 2010 as a prominent feature when the local newspaper folded its Books page and literary listings disappeared from the scene. To see your event listed there, contact odd.words.nola@gmail.com no later than Saturday of the week prior to the event.
