Nashville Is Reads Pics

Jon Bergey, my brother David, and I recently posted issue 4 of Nashville Is Reads (www.NashvilleIsReads.com). It took us a couple of days. These are pictures from day 1. Jon took pictures, I taped, and David hammered.

Matt Jasper's "Psalm" was first. Posted in the back yard of Leah Rose Retirement Center.

This is me (Peter) hanging Kathy Cottle's "Tea at the Bookstore" on top of a ton of staples stuck into this fence, behind Fido coffee shop.

Notice the remnants of past flyers. Hopefully it doesn't mean someone comes around to tear them down.

Kendra Grant Malone's "i care very much about many things" on the back of a "No Parking" sign. I'm barely tall enough to read it. Sorry, short people.

I like the Hick Idiot sticker at the bottom right.

Mike Topp's poem at "Dragon Park." There's a tunnel that you can crawl through just under those stairs in the background. We were going to put this poem inside it, but there were 3 or 4 people laying inside and giggling. So we settled on this light pole.

Then we took a beer break at Sam's, talked about where to go next.

We decided to go downtown. Here's me with Josh Maday's poem on 5th Ave. N. We plastered it onto the Tennesseean newspaper rack, which was a bad idea. It was gone the next morning.

Here's Larry O. Dean's "Confused About Vitamins" in Printer's Alley (the end of the alley without the stripclubs and karaoke bars).

Matt Jasper's "Messages" on 2nd Ave. N.

Made sure it would stay up, wrapped tape all around the tree. We used a roll and a half of tape.

Here's David adding some nails to Gary Beck's "42nd Street Remembered." It's at the end of Division St. Behind it you can see a bunch of billboards by the interestate, and you can hear trains in the distance. Makes for a good read.
