April 11th Revisited

A big welcome to the new folks who read in the Poets' Asylum open mic this
week. We hope you'll join us again. Following the open mic *Lea
Deschenes*took to the mic. Most of her work came in the form of
shorter, recently
created pieces with a couple of older poems thrown in to round out the set.
Lea made her performance look easy, confidently presenting her poems,
engaging the audience with her words. It's always great to hear a regular
perform an extended set and this was no exception. Thanks for the words Lea.
