Jim Carroll at Missouri Southern State College
Joplin, MO (3\/17\/99)<\/strong>
Review by\u00a0Damien9693 at aol dot com<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was really cool. Jim is way funnier than I thought he would be. He made cracks before and after most of his poems. He didn’t mention the Make a Wish kid. But he did have a cold and had to blow his nose a couple of times. Which he does quite loudly I might add. Here is his set list (not in any particular order) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He signed all four of my books for me, I was the second one up there to ask him and the line behind me was HUGE! A couple of the poems he read he said he had never read before. He started to read one from Forced Entries<\/em> about when he was taking speed to get off heroin and he had to take heroin again to get healthy, but he decided against it for some reason. I for one would have loved to hear it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
