“You should not see the desert simply as some faraway place of little rain. There are many forms of thirst.”  William Langewiesche

The desert is an archetypal landscape, the traditional geography of revelations. In celebration of national poetry month and the desert, these poets read some of their work about the lessons and gifts they have received from the Mojave at an open mic at the Beatnik Lounge in Joshua Tree.

Featuring original work read by: Dave Maresh, Gillian Spedding, Anita Harmon, Nanci Campbell, Rich Soos, Steve Braff, George Howell, and Phillip Rosenberg. Thank you poets!

This is part 1 of 2 programs recorded at an open mic hosted by Catherine Svehla at the Beatnik Lounge in Joshua Tree, CA.
