World Poetry Days

There will be a three day event held at St. John Fisher College, March 20,21, & 22. I believe Kathleen Wakefield will be reading Monday Night and there will be Open Mics. At this point they plan to hold one every night of the event. Many local poets, writers, publishers, & musicians/spoken word artists are going to attend. Many have signed up for fifteen minute time slots and many more will be coming to participate in the Open Mics.

I will know more specific information as the time draws nearer, but for now I just wanted to let you know of the dates. All of the poets/singers appearing this month at Blue Dahlia Open Mic will be at World Poetry Days in March. The man featuring the last Wednesday of the month, Norm Davis, is the founder and editor of Haz Mat Literary Magazine (the lit magazine I passed around at the last meeting). He is an amazing individual and one of my mentors. I would definitely recommend coming to see him. He is also the host of the Wide Open Mic, held at 7pm on the last Monday of every month at Writers & Books and the co-host of the Pure Kona Open Mic held at 7:30pm every Thursday at Daily Perks.

Here are the February Features for Pure Kona
