“The Eclectic Word” Hosted By Victor Infante

poets Mark Doty and Dave Keali’i

Yep, still good coffee. Actually I had a cappuccino, which was good. The place was a lot busier last night than the last time I went but it was still a nice place to have conversation. It looks like they pull a nice crowd of quiet people in.

I DID notice this time is that there are only a couple of options (hot chocolate or milkshake) if you don’t want coffee or tea (I know, weird, but it happens). It might be nice to see some cold drinks like juice or soda in there in the future. Maybe I was missing something and they do have stuff - it’s entirely possible. I dunno.

I am liking The Q. I’ve been twice - had good experiences twice. This is good. I’ll be back

“The Eclectic Word” hosted by Victor D. Infante
Poet and editor David Lehman discusses “Best American Erotic Poetry,” the “Best American Poetry” series and his own work.

It’s Lea, another really cool poetry-ass-kicking Worcesterite, reading some of her work.

Lea C. Deschenes was featured poet at Poets Beyond the Half Shell series, Beyond Baroque, Venice, CA

Gotta love youtube. You get to see all sorts of cool things!

Here’s something interesting from Victor Infante - seen here in his natural habitat - the Java Hut with poet, Heather Macpherson. It’s some past shows of “The Eclectic Word”. Enjoy!

Things you need to listen to: Jeff DeRego and Rachel Kann on fiction, technology and the business side of writing. A great conversation that went places I seriously did not expect to go.
