Seat in the Shade

Upstairs in The Globe, Jericho Brown is reading.

Reading as in performing.  Performing as in poetry.

 

Eyes are on him; ears take in his sounds.  

A backlight and ceiling fan define the improvised stage.

 

Seat in the Shade is a euphemism on a hot Georgia night.

Our sweat evaporates to join his on stage.  We are one.
