Jason Olsen Live Readings

September 6, 2017

I had an opportunity last night to read at the open mic night at Busboys and Poets at 14th & V in Washington D.C. This is such a different venue for me and was really exciting. With just four minutes for each reader, I decided to read my poem, "To Jackson Browne, My Father," which had been getting excellent feedback at my recent readings. It seemed to go over well! This was simultaneously the most supportive and also the most intimidating crowd I have ever read in front of.
