This is the 2nd gathering for the Glot of Poetry Reading Series. The GOPRS is polyglot—poems may be read in English, Spanish, or any other language. The theory is that poetry is a language.
There is open mike for those who wish to read, but 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.

Sunday Merienda & Book Swap
Back from the northern hemisphere and summer’s over. Fortunately, there’s spring! And I’m sure those of you who’ve been snuggling up with your space heaters are even more excited than I am. Join us for the last day of winter:
Writers in Buenos Aires Sunday Merienda & Book Swap
Sunday, September 20th
5 p.m.
Bar de Cao
Av. Independencia 2400 (corner of Matheu)
in the barrio of San Cristóbal
Come meet up with other writers to chat and/or trade or lend books! Book part optional, your presence is more than enlightening enough. If you bring a book or few, keep in mind that trading is perhaps a better alternative to lending when dealing with folks you don’t know, i.e. lend at your own risk and make sure your name is written inside so your lendee can keep track. Hope to see you there!

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

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!
