Portrait of poet Hilda Weiss

I'm still taking portraits of L.A poets. This of was taken a few days ago in Santa Monica.

Mark Savage Photographs Hollywood Institute of Poetics

When I’m not taking wedding photos or business headshots, I often spend my time documenting literary Los Angeles. I spent Sunday afternoon hanging out with some old friends from the Los Angeles poetry community. Members of the Hollywood Institute of Poetics gathered at Stories Books in Los Angeles to celebrate the 3 year anniversary of the World Wide Word Radio Network with some really good spoken word. Here’s a group photo of the attendees, and a few of my portraits of poets who attended the event- Rafael F J Alvarado, Doug Knott, and AK Toney.
