From Barbara Pappas

I am a volunteer for the Chichester Town Library and am organizing a special poetry reading event for National Poetry Month, which will be held on Wednesday evening, April 13th, from 7:00-9:00.

Don Kimball has graciously agreed to be our featured speaker for the night, and we are now looking for more poets who would be willing to come to Chichester to read as well. As this is a one time special event coming up fairly quickly, I would like to personally invite any interested poets to read at the open mic part of the event. I would like to hear from them as soon as possible. Call me with any questions about the event. My number is 603-798-3410. Or email me at bespappas5@tds.net
