Hi everyone at Poetica, when is the next Poetica evening, I really enjoyed the last one I attended and have a friend who'd love to come and soak up the wonderful atmosphere and excellent poetry.

Hi. I'd love to get down to one of the sessions some time. Sounds great. Yeah, it would be fun to try and do an integrated flute/poetry performance. As well as doing some stuff with you, I did some improv with an Irish performance artist with some of his text a while ago, which I really liked. Never thought of trying to do flute/recitation at the same time though!
