River Poets

THEME:  MEMORIZED POEMS, getting right by rote. Poems can be two-liner ala Ogden Nash, limericks, sonnets, free verse, rhyme (perhaps, Robert Service), rap, and any other kind (epic Iliad anyone?). Before writing there was a tradition of telling tales and giving information, painting pictures by speaking. So, pick one or two poems, get comfortable with it/them, and start talking.

MC: Michael DeMarco

20 years of poetry including the re-reading of the fabled, long-lost, and legendary “RIVER POEM” –an epic word-journey about the Susquehanna River, multi-voiced, serpentine, rocky, and rough – well, all the things one associates with the waterway but without getting wet in the process…and CAKE!  

Plus, River Poet JoAnne Growney

MCs: Sue Brook & Mary Lou Wagner
