"Secrets and Lies"/The Poetry Reading

At long last, here are the photos from the Secrets & Lies reading (Winter 2006) at John Carroll University, organized by the poets from my Advanced Creative Writing Workshop and photographed by Barbie Lewis. Thanks for your work, poets. In reverse order of their actual appearance:

Sam Flores, Ave Atque Vale! the Filipino Catullus

Billy Miller, hang gliding into the future

Moria Torrington, talking love trouble and her brother

Anthony Tarescavage, ode-ing his navel and a relationship gone sour

Sean McClure, singing the praises of beer

Rhiannon Lathy, elegies to her mother and to Iraq
