June 5, 2014

First Thursday in June

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

End: June 5, 2014 7:30 pm
Venue: Bloomsmburg Public Library
Address:
Market Street, Bloomsburg, PA, 17815, United States
