Alicia Adams Feature at The Cobalt Hosted by Rick Lupert 2.23.10

It was a fun night and I was glad to support a great writer and friend, Alicia Adams. Last night she delivered her first solo feature at The Cobalt Cafe in Canoga Park! Her upcoming chapbook, Orchard of the Poison Apples, proves to be a collection of work with great imagination and craft. With startling images and great inventiveness, each story and poem invoke surreal creativity in a dark world Dali would love to play in.

This was a diverse reading with feature Alicia Adams, an open mic, which I participated in as well, and host Rick Lupert sharing his work also. He was such a riot to listen to! Long involved in the LA poetry scene, and long time host of the Tuesday night reading at The Cobalt, his hysterical sense of humor and wonderful poetry really add to the atmosphere.

It was a great dynamic, mixing open readers with a talented feature and an established LA writer like Rick. No one can say Cobalt doesn't spread the love!
