YES! OUR FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE GREGG SHAPIRO RECENTLY PUBLISHED A NEW BOOK OF POETRY, THE FIFTH IN A SERIES AND TENTH OVERALL. HE’S GOING TO DO A READING FROM THE BOOK THIS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3, AT THE BENZAITEN CENTER FOR THE ARTS IN WEST PALM BEACH. MY INTERVIEW WITH HIM IS IN THIS WEEK’S OUT SOUTH FLORIDA ON STANDS AND ONLINE. I’VE KNOWN HIM FOR YEARS BUT HAVE NEVER REALLY READ HIS WORK UNTIL NOW. I KNEW HE WAS TALENTED BUT NOW I *KNOW* HE’S SOOOO TALENTED! SO GET UP TO WEST PALM THIS WEDNESDAY, AND GET HIS BOOK, SPEAKING IN ITALICS.
