Once again, we truly want to thank everyone who braved the snow last month for our Poems About Nothing event at the Rubin Museum of Art. Whether you were there in actuality or just in spirit, hopefully you will enjoy a selection of photos from the evening.

Enduring the snow
In Fairness, she was
naked except for that fur
(the one from Orient Furrier), she said You’re only kind
to me when- and pricked
him with her mothy needle.
He walked all the way home in the rain.
He thought he might as well have
shot her in the stomach, since it was raining
and the world was almost over

Sun Chariot
As I said last time
I left in chains,
I will not make salt of you
this time, friend.
[My horses require no water.]“You’ll find them in a place
beneath the freeway.”
They said,
and threw it open.
[My horses require no water.]It’s.
It’s someone. This is what they told me.
They told me this.
Someone
told me.
[My horses require no water.]So what is this about–
it is so hot everywhere.
