When I am not myself, I am a trucking company in Ontario, a custom knifemaker in Boston (and African-American), a Louisiana state legislator, a cartoon colorist, an NFL player of the 1950s and 1960s, a salsa aficionado in Boston, and a real estate agent in Tulsa. Among other things. <BR/><BR/>This explains why I have been feeling tired lately.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>J.D. Smith<BR/>www.jdsmithwriter.comJ.D.

Thanks, Don and Jessica, and everyone else who came out to the Rouge. I'm so relieved "Sketchy" got a good reception--I often end up bumping that poem at readings, because it seems to only click with a certain median age group. But Monday's bunch of young hooligans got it. <BR/><BR/>= )Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02108785153248826337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844162.post-1154507042493574512006-08-02T04:24:00.000-04:002006-08-02T04:24:00.000-04:00shanna-- i had her on my mind after reading the co...shanna-- i had her on my mind after reading the comment about Shannas... obviously i meant to address Sandra.<BR/><BR/>i liked the "sketchy" piece too, but because it started out funny and then was inescapably brutal commentary on sexual harassment. it reminded me of a trick that joyce carol oates often uses... drawing the reader in (isn't it cute, isn't it sweet and witty) and then BAM she reveals the true dangers of being female.Jessica Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04717874657318262267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844162.post-1154506847985180672006-08-02T04:20:00.000-04:002006-08-02T04:20:00.000-04:00hey shanna-- lovely reading last night, i agree. ...hey shanna-- lovely reading last night, i agree. i'm in a similar boat with making my own website ("who does she think she is?") but you know there are *so* many Jessica Smiths in the world that it was necessary to make some kind of ripple. On facebook there is a group dedicated to girls named Jessica Smith, and it has like 300 members. And that's just people on facebook. I'm still not the top Google hit for my name, but "jessica smith + poetry" works. luckily, no animals were harmed during the making of this post.Jessica Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04717874657318262267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844162.post-1154474804453474252006-08-01T19:26:00.000-04:002006-08-01T19:26:00.000-04:00hello, linked here through looktouch blog and just...hello, linked here through looktouch blog and just wanted to say hi and i think the website looks great!<BR/><BR/>also wondering if i can link this site to my blog (blindelephant.blogspot.com)?<BR/><BR/>peacecsperezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12750899028081321109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12844162.post-1154438185321350482006-08-01T09:16:00.000-04:002006-08-01T09:16:00.000-04:00I wanted to praise your performance last night.

And now that I look, yes there are two "Steve(n) Schroeder" poets out there...hmmm. That would be irksome. Maybe you should go all meta and start spelling your name "Stev7en." To those who ask, say simply "The 7 is silent." <BR/><BR/>Shanna, the constellation of other Shannas sounds like a poem in the making. Do you know Aaron Belz? He has organized whole reading series of poets who all have the same first name. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the kind word on the website, Sam!
