\"\"<\/a>No show this week, but here’s a bonus episode with my impromptu speech at the remembrance-memorial for the late Michael Denneny<\/a>, recorded June 19, 2023. Michael & I were supposed to record a podcast on April 15 about his collection, On Christopher Street<\/a> (U of Chicago), but he was dead when I arrived at his apartment. I recorded a wrenching monologue<\/a> about that discovery the next day, and a followup a week later<\/a>, so this piece serves as a sort of coda to that, and a celebration of all Michael meant to the literary and gay communities. If you’d like to watch the video of my speech, it’s on YouTube<\/a>. We’ll be back next week. Give it a listen<\/a>, and go read On Christopher Street<\/a><\/p>\n
