Theme: Spectacular serves. [Tennyson anyone?] |
Featured Poets : Tara Holdren & Richard Book
Ardent fans of each other’s work for over 13 years, River Poets Richard and Tara will read in counterpoint, volleying crisp imagery and meaty substance like the pros at Wimbledon. At least you won’t have to wear sunscreen and squint for this match-up! And Tara promises not to make those guttural noises with each serve. As for Richard, we cannot say.

Love Takes a Right Turn;
Micro organic Love;
Ode to Romeo and Juliet;
Or stay with ‘Myopia: Close(near) Sighted Poems’ (the original theme).
Show up for the fun; stay for the hearts, flowers, and music (maybe chocolate)

AKA: putting the NOW in snow.
A sail, a sale, white elephants, white landscape; bring your slightly used items to help fund the River Poets. A party, a gathering, milling about, and some poems
