For Readers and Listeners of Poetry

This is the 1st gathering for the Power of Poetry Reading Series. The
POPRS is polyglot—poems may be read in English, Spanish, or any other
language. The theory is that poetry is a language.

Plan for the 1st gathering: A microphone will be on a stand at one end
of the recital room. Chairs will be placed in rows facing the
microphone. The officers of the group will have five to ten minutes
each to say something and read a poem or two. A guest reader will read
for about twenty minutes, and then attendees who want to read may
participate in open mike. A sign-in sheet will be available for those
who want to read. Each person who makes it on the sign-in sheet will
have five to ten minutes to read. Books written by the guest reader
will be available for sale.

Members of the audience do not have to participate in open mike. In
fact, we hope those who attend feel free to simply sit back, listen,
and enjoy the spoken word.

A café is adjacent to the recital room, where refreshments will be
available before, during, and after the reading.

The themes for this reading will be:

We are past mid-winter

Spring is almost upon us

Meteor showers

The new moon

NEWS & EVENTS

I’m writing  from up at the Vermont Studio Center where I’m doing a writing residency alongside a gorgeous river, replete with turtles, and a woodchuck that munches on clovers outside my window. A good dose of nature, summer, and an escape from the many distractions of Buenos Aires (everything here shuts down at 9 p.m.!). I will be back in September, but if any of you are itching for a meet-up or book swap, you are more than welcome to host one, I am quite expendable really! All you have to do is pick a time and place, make a reservation for 10-20 people, and send me the details about a week in advance for me to post it, and of course, show up on time.

POWER OF POETRY Reading Series is launched!
