“Not a coffee connoisseur, just a connoisseur of the human experience, chronicling the darker end of it, like a black coffee in and of itself, i guess.” I sat down with Monte Belmonte at WRSI to chat about One More Cup Of Coffee. There’s a real leg-room issue in that studio, believe-you-me. But I’m not complaining. I mean, I am technically actually exactly complaining. But it’s always fun to listen to Monte turn my rambling into a coherent radio segment. AUDIO MAGIC. Featuring a reading from “Cash Only” (The Whole Donut, Holyoke) and “Varying Degrees Of Ass-Hardship” (The Roost, Northampton).
