I go to two Open Mics in the area. There are some slam and spoken word events but I haven't really been to them. I do have your site on my list of items I hope to get to! I also took a long absence from writing but now that you have it back don't let it go! I’m in Charlotte, NC. I go to two Open Mics in the area.

Reading comments as well as the commentary is just as much fun for me...okay, no Poetry was dormant I believe, but that is why I started Cultural Art Expression- Open Mic in Princeton NJ. To get those dormant 'of substance' poets off their living room sofas and in front of my mic. I am guilty of not producing for years, but had my personal reasons, but now I am... Sure there are poetry groups dotted about, but they are primarily for getting feedback, and yes Borders host readings. I have to say it, most of those who attend are over one hundred (exaggerated a bit), but most think of themselves as literate know it alls, when their are poets that write from deep within, and do not need to reach into deep wells of vocabulary to get a point across. Maybe that is a bit harsh, but economics has dominated the poetry field, at least in this area, and I am trying to show other artists like myself that if you have talent for spoken word; it needs to be heard in the voice it was meant. Not sure what area of the country you are in, but I would love to know if you attend Open Mics, and I also have harsh views on Slams which started when I was on the poetry scene in Dallas, an do not consider them legit venues for beginner poets. Intimidating they can be... I would love for you to check out my site, I have writing dotted about my blogs...Thanks, and I have also passed your site onto other writer friends of mine... Poets are wordsmiths, that paint a picture... Ha I am so glad I found your site!

I kept thinking aboutthe section of poems that Bruce Lader read about the Sisyphus myth, it really resonated with me. Jeremy Deal also gave a lively reading which was nice after all the rain and the dreary ride to Hickory after work. You always do a fantastic job with these videos. Great readings last night.

Nice that I can ride the coattails of a younger writer, LOL, no really I feel that I waited so late in the game to get my work done, with raising a terminally ill child and a son. A mom who gave up her own personal dreams, but now trying to get my act together. I look forward to reading more here, and am going to order your books. I run an open mic for poets in Princeton, NJ, so one day when you are coming through please let me know. E I am really glad I found your site, via google chapbooks…
