Got nothing to do on Valentine’s Day?
(That’s not a comment on your love life or your sexual prowess. That’s an honest question. Because if the answer is “Why, my schedule is free, good sir,” then I have a fun suggestion. Do keep reading.)

Because you can attend St. Valentine’s Day Mascara.
This is going to be the biggest international Valentine-themed poetry event ever. Well, the biggest one that I’ve ever heard of, anyway. And I’m one of many performers – mostly poets, but also some music and performance art.

The lineup includes Christine Hall, Tish Camp, Edith Blackbird, Kelly Van Nelson, Skylar J. Wynter and others. Many of us made short videos to promote the thing. Here’s mine:

Now, GO, my son.
