extended hiatus

Due to expanded commitments to my small press, I've been forced to cut down on some other projects. I would be delighted if someone else came forward to carry on this blog. Meanwhile, I hope some of the links and contacts herein are of some use.

This is just a reminder about Sunday's open poetry reading at the Endless Mountains Council of the Arts, 302 W. Tioga Street, Tunkhannock, PA., 2-5 PM. This event is being held in honor of the late Martha Fray Sampson, founder and first president of the EMCA, who passed away in October 2008. Besides being an acclaimed artist, Ms. Sampson was a great lover of poetry; many of her poems will be on display alongside her artwork. The theme for this event is based on one of Ms. Sampson's favorite expressions, "Share What Makes You Happy." Attendees are invited to read their own work, read the work of their favorite poets, read from Ms. Sampson's work, or just enjoy the recitations of others. Refreshments will be provided.
