From the verses of Shakespeare to the violence of Football, a soft hand on the nape of my neck to a rim's hard rattle after a dunk, the mute of Miles to the rhymes of Rakim, Hershey's chocolate to a garlic peppered, cedar-planked salmon, Joel Dias-Porter's thoughts scatter like grains of black sand across a wind-blown beach.

Launch Party
The reading at World Above was a blast. Terrance Hayes & Jeffery McDaniel came through as well as many of the South Jersey Poets who frequent the reading series. Terrance gave a surprise introduction that was really an amazing review of my book. Emari DiGiorgio & Peter Murphy have always been there for me and so it was no surprise that the event was awesome. My next reading will be June 29th in Pittsburgh PA at the White Whale bookstore. See you there!

LAUNCH PARTY!
If you get the book directly from the publisher you can also get a signed, numbered, broadside of my poem “Still Life”. But there are only 50 copies available.
