Featured Poet At The Village Jester Pub In Ojai
I had a great time reading at The Village Jester Restaurant & Pub tonight. We live all of three blocks away, so I grabbed a music stand and a handful of poems, and Val and I walked there through a balmy May night. In addition to being a great hangout and gathering place, The Jester also pours a strong Rose’s Lime and soda.The open mic was remarkable for the raw, authentic nature of each piece. And, special bonus, my father read a poem as well — something he hadn’t done since he was nineteen, and read at an open mic prior to the feature of a different Robert — Robert Frost.
Many thanks to Tree Bernstein and The Jester for bringing good people to a good spot to share some poems. I can’t think of a better way to start the week.

Robert,
Thanks for sharing your wonderful poems with us at The Village Jester. I aprticularly enjoyed the ‘chess’ poem. The Jester is a community resource and I am so happy to be able to support Tree and local poets/artists in their work. Long may it continue! In fact, we will be holding a play reading on Sunday, June 1. Come and enjoy!

Thanks, Nigel. Great to have a pub in Ojai of the British variety - that is, a community gathering place and so much more than just a restaurant or "bar." Thanks for all you do to promote the arts.
