Long time, no post



Well, I sincerely apologize for not posting more lately. Running all these programs has me lacking on some of my more enjoyable duties. But I do have lots of good news to report like ...


and also this ....


This was the turn-out for our "Westland Writes" Poetry Reading last night. It turns out that almost 60 people showed up to hear our poets read their work- and the audience reviews were raving (well, that sound too close to "stark raving mad", but suffice to say their were excited). We ran out of chairs, people overflowed into the aisles- and the food was great! 14 of the 19 poets who contributed to the book came to read their works, which was delightful. To actually hear the poems in the poet's voice is something beautiful. If you could not make it, you missed out.

Next week we're having our first Poetry Group of the summer, Wednesday June 2nd at 7 p.m. While it would be great if we had 60 people show up to that one, we'd probably have to have find a new format :) Hope to see you all there!
