Five Statments of Fact About the Poetry Bus in Boise 1) After illuminating Anthony McCann, someone here at Neurolux has decided poets give off their own light, and so they&;ve turned off the light-up crown that serves as a backdrop to the stage. 2) The word &;placenta&; has come up in more poems than normal this evening. 3) The bar back has a brutal scar on his face. 4) A woman who had just gotten out of jail in Nevada kissed Matthew Zapruder on the neck after his reading. MZ, &;I don&;t know if that makes the reading better or worse.&; 5) Someone told Blake this is the type of town where one can get a tire-iron across the head.

Zapruder&;it no doubt made the reading better for her, and will no doubt inspire a new piece for you. Miss ya, my friend.
