Tonight (Wednesday)! #Poetry at The Range hosted by Billy Brown

…featuring Aaron Trumm & Reed Adair Bobroff! Billy writes, 

Friends,

I am excited about tonight's Poetry at The Range! Bill Nevins is traveling in Colorado & Northern New Mexico, so he asked me to guest-host for him. I am especially pleased that Aaron Trumm, will be exercising his 13-month-old Shiny Lungs with some great poetry, plus (if what's been emanating from his room recently is any indication) some tunes self-accompanied on guitar! I am also thrilled to hear, for my first time, a performance by Diné poet Reed Adair Bobroff.

Should be a great evening!  (More details below)

Yours for powerful poetry, Billy Brown

Poetry at The Range  ~  The Range Café Bernalillo New Mexico. Open mic reading sign ups at 6:30 pm  ~  Reading starts at 7 pm

#Poetry Announcement @PWPicnic #Reunion2014 Sat Aug23 #Mountainair NM

Picnic founder and re-animator Dale Harris sent out simultaneous multiple email notices, so the basic information has been out and about on most if not all NM poetry announcement outlets ~ fortuitously so as I am White Rabbit late getting to the PWP Reunion.

To keep it from being more of the same, I "added value" by packing the post with (mostly missing) links, moving the (sponsoring) art council's Sunflower Festival poster to the bottom of the page, opening with Pop Shaffer's "wild folk art" gate, and otherwise tweaking copy and layout to minimize the old déjà vu all over again.

Poets, writers and aficcionad@s of spoken word are cordially invited to the Poets & Writers Picnic Reunion Saturday August 23 from noon to 5 pm in the Shaffer Hotel Garden in Mountainair?  Just look for the iconic gate and gazebo!

Please join us for a revival of this popular literary event again held concurrently with the annual Mountainair Sunflower Festival. Sponsored by the Manzano Mountain Art Council and The Malpaís Review Poetry Quarterly, the event is replete with live music, featured readers, a rolling open mic plus book signings and sales. Some of your favorite poets & writers will be there, We hope you will be too!
