Attention, poetry people in these parts …

… here is message I just received from John Timpane  (jtimpane@phillynews.com), who has consented to let me pass it along:

Hello!  This is John at The Inquirer. Again.

 

Our Weekend cover package for March 28 will be another big blowout about poetry.

 

Question: WHAT POETRY-RELATED EVENTS DO YOU MOST LOOK FORWARD TO in the area (loosely defined) between March 28 and the end of April? Could be readings, music, discussion groups … could be anything.

 

Assume we have the Philly Poetry Festival covered, because we do. What else? (For example: What do you plan, or what outlandish schemes do you hear of, for poetry day, April 12?)

 

I have a formal DEADLINE of this coming TUESDAY, March 18. Hey, it’s newspapers. As always, my need is GREAT.

 

Any help you can give me will be wonderful. I am gathering rosebuds right now and would love any buds, or full-grown bushes, ouch, you could fling my way.

 

Thanks in advance
