Poetstock 2009!
Never before has this been done, and hopefully it will be successfully repeated after this all over the world, again and again….

Our aim is to bring together poets from all over, who produce all genres of poetry for a night of mingling, poetry, shameless self promotion….  Each poet will have the poetry to read their work on stage, sell their work to those who would like to buy, and mingle with the best poets of our generation.

It will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 9 PM at STUDIO PARK; 1519 Carroll Dr
Atlanta, GA 30318-3605

And the owner of STUDIO PARK in Atlanta has been gracious enough to open his doors to us without charging us ANYTHING!!!

Guys, you seriously CAN’T miss this~you HAVE to be there!  It is the chance of the lifetime, and the bigger we make it, the more attention we poets will get.

Poetry is NOT dead~let’s show the world that it is living and breathing~

Don’t forget to bring your Books, CDs and/or original artwork to sell!

***BTW~we are looking for a talented DJ to spin between reads~so if you have what it takes or know someone who does, please email me.
****ALL are welcome!  Whether you are a poet, or love poetry, we hope you will all come, tell your friends about it, and your friends’ friends-blog it, bulletin it, email it, scream about it from the rooftops~Whatever it takes!!!

Thanks for including me!

It is a great day to be alive!
What Question can I ask to empower myself and others?
How can I improve the experience of those I encounter today?
What can I do to facilitate your Gift?

Yesterday Is History
Tomorrow is a Mystery
Today is a Gift...
That's why we call it the Present
