Poet Laureate 3

11 December 2018

First reading at City Hall. Third reading so far.
I read "New Lights" to a packed house and started off facing the City Council.  There was a running joke about the height of the microphone, so I read the poem while doing a 360 turn around said microphone.  I was able to make eye contact with all parts of the room that way, and saw local congresspeople, contractors, citizens, police officers, and fans of the town.

It was great to talk with outgoing council member Harry Sachs, and cheer for incoming member Sabina Zafar.  It's going to be a great year for San Ramon!
