Still\, we’re back and we’ve made some adjustments! \nThe reading on September 26 features some of the poets from 2020 in a zoom presentation with an eBook on our website. We are continuing to solicit poems and plan on having another event and book in December. Please joins us to hear these poets and send us your work. \nReaders may include (not everyone is reading) \nLex Bakey\, Matilda Bray\, Zillah Elcin\, Rachel Haas-Gutin\, Devon James\, Cooper Kidd\, Sam Lyons\, Kelly McGeehan\, Cecelia McKinney\, Isabella Piacentino\, Aimee Schwartz\, Hoa-Angel Tran\, Maya Workowski\, Darian Zenouzi \nKrisann Janowitz\, Host
