POETRY ROUNDTABLES

POETRY ROUNDTABLES!!!!!
THURSDAY, APR. 17TH 7-9PM
JAVA VINO COFFEE SHOP
424 MAIN ST. DOWNTOWN RACINE

As if you didn't already know...

If you're reading this blog, it's because I felt you might be interested in the Poetry Roundtable series that The Racine Public Library and Java Vino coffee shop have been collaborating on recently. Basically, the events consist just of a small group of people gathering to read and talk about the work of a different poet each month.

OK homies--this week is the week. And boy am I excited because, not only is April National Poetry Month, but we are taking this special month to focus on one of my favorite poets: Frederick Seidel. Here is a link to the library's Poetry Roundtable page so you can get the whole low down on Seidel: http://www.racinelib.lib.wi.us/ContemporaryAmericanPoetry.htm

Just read a little bit. I promise it will peak your interest and you couldn't stop yourself from coming if you tried!!! (yikes)

If you plan on attending, shoot me back an e-mail saying so. That way I can make an adequate amount of copies of the poems. If you just show up, well, you might just end up having to share your copy with someone else. This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Or, better yet, a hideous one?

Seriously, ya'll--Let's celebrate National Poetry Month together. I've been having so much fun at these events with all of you...I just want to be deluged with e-mails overwhelming me with participants. Let's make this Roundtable the best one of the year yet!

Thanks a ton to the folks who joined in the last roundtable and I can't wait to see ya'll this Thursday!
