hey poet friends,
dear poet friends,
I've been asked to read and play some original songs (perhaps with my love Irene) at a three-day poetry symposium in Cleveland right after this semester, and they are still taking submissions (out-of-town poets receive a cash honorarium). My friend the Washington poet Charles Potts recommended me is helping me get out there, but if a bunch of people in the West shared the cost of gas-money it could be a grand ol' time. Green Panda Press' myspace is myspace.com/verysharp and their email is greenpandapress@gmail.com
Here's the info so far:
Green Panda Press announces 'Tres Versing the Panda: Three Days of Poetry Soiree,' taking place May 8th - 10th 2009, in Cleveland, OH.
readings shall occur at a bar, a bookstore, a library, and another bar.
readers include Alex Gildzen (NM), George Wallace (NYC), Hugh Fox (MI), Wesley Eisold (PA), Angela Jaeger (MA), Charles Potts (WA), Jeremy Gaulke (MA), Eric Paul (RI), Adam Perry (CO) and Clevelanders Phil Metres, Maj Ragain, Kisha Foster, Adam Brodsky, Ben Gulyas, Jim Lang, Wendy Shaffer, Russ Vidrick & Bree, and that's an incomplete cast...some tentatives included.
lots of new books by lots of these poets, so it will be a veritable book fair.
