Durell Carter, one of my Red Dirt Poetry pals & fellow Board members, just released his first book! He was the featured poet at an open mic night at Green Feather Books for the Mark Allenn Everett Poetry Series, and my friend Rachel and I went to see him read. I also purchased a copy of his book while I was there! We also unexpectedly got to meet a Red Dirt Poetry legend! Every open mic, we end the evening by saying, "That's it! Hang out. Hug a poet. I love you, & goodnight!" This quote originated with Spontaneous Bob, one of the first people to start Red Dirt Poetry. And he happened to be at the reading! Rachel & I got a photo with him & Durell. You can purchase your own copy of Durell's book, Mr. Monday Morning's Broken Songs & Testimonies, at many local OKC bookstores, or by clicking here to visit Durell's website.
