Rose M. Smith is a shy, quiet poet who's lived most of her life in Columbus, Ohio--a conversational voice heavily informed by human situations and emotion. Voted "poet most unlike herself at the mic," she has been known to silence an unruly room when her poems begin to speak. Her work has appeared in Chiron Review, The Iconoclast, Good Foot, Pavement Saw, Concrete Wolf, Boston Literary Magazine, The Examined Life, Main Street Rag, and The Pedestal Magazine, and other journals and anthologies. Rose reads throughout the midwest--she'll make a jaunt cross country if she's needed (you pay for it). She has been called "a quiet visionary spanning the worlds of performance poetry and literary print! challenging and enriching the norms of both. She is an associate editor at Pudding House Publications and author of Shooting the Strays (Pavement Saw Press, 2003) and A Woman You Know (Pudding House Publications, 2005) and is featured in the Poets' Greatest Hits collection now managed bt Kattywampus Press.

Back in the Saddle

The season is rolling again at The Poetry Forum at Larry's. Monday night's feature was Stevi Meredith from Writer's Block. Nice job. The crowd was decent, and it was really a good night for poetry, both feature and open mic.

Next Monday night, Jerry Roscoe will grace the mic with his smooth offerings and unique sense of wit. Jerry will make the crowd chuckle and generally deliver an evening of masterfully written verse. Should be a good time.

I'm rolling forward again to finish up that CD before I travel to Detroit and Minneapolis in April. Chapbook sales of A Woman You Know are going really well. It's in second printing, and feedback has been great. I suppose I should have sent review copies to a few journals, but I sincerely didn't think about it at the time. Oh, well... one of these days I'll be a good marketer.
