Amy, please add this too!
Cadmium Text Series in Kingston, NY.
Thank you, Amy. At last, the internet is used for good and not for evil! If anyone would do it, it would of course be you …
Please add Rochester, New York to your listing. We have Writers and Books here, wab.org, with many readings, classes and events related to poetry.
Also, my husband, and fellow poet/(attorney) Lou Faber and I host a monthly Open Mic at =Grounds Coffee Shop, 250 South Avenue at Caroline Street in Rochester, NY. The next one is August 12th, 2009 7 – 9 PM. All are welcome.
We read in a round-robin fashion, which keeps the energy going. One person, one poem, next person, one poem, , next, next, until we run out of poems and people.
Thanks for putting this all together, Amy! I’ll link to your blog from the Oklahoma Poetry Portal.
Elaine, will list shortly – thank you!
Jeanetta – thanks for the link, very much!
