National Poetry Month Wrap-Up

Whew! April madness felt extra mad this year.

Thanks to everyone who came out to my readings in Philadelphia and New York, and all who followed along with the daily poems at the Bloof Books blog.

This is coming up Sunday, May 4, at 4:00 pm:

RSVP at Facebook

During the month of April, we agreed to write (or record) new work each day, posting it to our blog and Twitter feed, creating a sort of collective public notebook. On Sunday, May 4 at 4PM we're coming together IRL to celebrate & explore the results of this group experiment. We'll read/screen 1-2 poems representing each day and talk about what did (or didn't) work. 

Natalie Eilbert, Farrah Field, Kirsten Kaschock (via video), Becca Klaver (IRL + video), Pattie McCarthy, Amanda Montei (via video), Catie Rosemurgy (via video), Dawn Akemi Sueoka (via video), Jared White, Shanna Compton & special guest Maureen Thorson (via video)
