Jim Carroll
\nThe Bottom Line, NYC
\n13 November 1999 (first Show)<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Review by\u00a0Kevin<\/a><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brilliant !!!! Jim was wonderful. I attended the first show, full house. Jim shared a funny story about a passenger onboard a Southwest Airlines flight that basically felt it important to tell Jim how “Jayne Mansfield was his life” and how he was at the now infamous crash scene Jayne died at.<\/p>\n

Jim entertained us with a great sense of humor and shared his wonderful poetry, ranging from a prose piece (“Just Visiting”) in\u00a0Fear Of Dreaming<\/i>\u00a0and a selection from\u00a0Forced Entries<\/i>\u00a0(“A Day at the Races”); listening to Jim read it was so perfect.<\/p>\n

Finally he read several pieces from\u00a0Void Of Course<\/i>–I love that book !!! Including “8 Fragments For Kurt Cobain” and ending with my favorite, simply titled POEM (last one published in\u00a0Void Of Course<\/i>) and includes the opening lines, “Nobody is going to ruin me, if I have to I will ruin myself.” I was so jazzed he read that; it’s my favorite in his\u00a0Pools Of Mercury<\/i>\u00a0CD too.<\/p>\n

Jim is awesome, I met him last year (shook his hand) at The Bottom Line and once again, as I walked out of The Bottom Line last night and strolled up toward Washington Square Park, all I could think is how fortunate we are to have his talent, his timeless poetry and how gracious he is to share his work with us.<\/p>\n

Thank You Jim !!! I look forward to more, wonderful shows in the near future.. Because as you say, “There will always be the poem.”<\/p>\n
