Viva Poety (Lummis Day Library Poetry Series)….


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.

Please join us for an enjoyable afternoon of poetry.   Those who simply want to listen to the poetry are more then welcome to attend as well.
