Each year, in conjunction with Lummis Day (see their website
here: http://lummisday.org/2013/),
there is a poetry event in several local libraries. This year’s event is a poetry reading. But the poetry to read is not what you’ve written. Rather we invite you to pick out your
favorite poem & read it. These readings
will be recorded for a short movie to be shown at Lummis Day events and in
educational settings. Everyone is
invited to participate & is requested to RSVP the event organizer at lapoetryfestival@earthlink.net. She is interested in what poem you will be
reading and, if you’re still in school, what grade you are in.
We are one of the libraries hosting one of these poetry
events. Ours will be on May 18 at
3:00. Eagle Rock Library (5027 Caspar
Avenue) will also be hosting an event. Theirs will take place on May 25, also
at 3:00.
