Welcome back for our October gathering of the Single Pot Still Poetry Society! This month, we welcome with elation another seasoned poet new to our circle of words: Steve Brisendine visiting with us from Kansas! As is our usual plan, Steve will open us up with his feature and the open mic will follow after a short break.
Steve Brisendine lives, works and remains unbeaten against The New York Times crossword in Mission, KS. He is the author of five collections of poetry, most recently full of old books and silence (Alien Buddha Press, 2024) and Behind the Wall Cloud of Sleep (Spartan Press, 2024). His work has appeared in Modern Haiku, I-70 Review, Flint Hills Review and other publications and compilations. He has no degrees, one tattoo and a deep and unironic fondness for strip-mall Chinese restaurants. In his spare time, he tries to make himself seem far more interesting than he actually is.
