River Poets

Theme: Poetry in the park* or River and Rhyme

*Outside in the autumn air as we continue the covid-inspired conditions. More room for social distancing!

Near the junction/T-intersection where Market Street meets River Road...look for a gathering of people on the east side.

OPEN READING.

Bring a folding chair, beverage[s] and/or food, and of course poems, verse, limericks, descriptive fiction.

MC: Tara Holdren

Theme: Viral Verse or Poetry in a pandemic

We have been in a weird place for five months or so and do not know how much longer we will be in altered arrangements. Regardless, there must be poetry. Possible topics could be isolation, social distancing, masks, or a zombie apocalypse.

Please follow social distancing and wear masks.

The location is in the Columbia Mall.  There is a gazebo near the Spirit Halloween store.  There are a limited number of cafe tables and chairs.

MC: Michael DeMarco

Theme: Rivers and mountains, creeks and valleys
