I’m pretty passive about these opportunities, but I shouldn’t be. They are good experience and also sell books. But mostly, they are fun and a chance to read and hear other poets.

To those in and around Atlanta,  you are invited.

 

Avondale Estates’ monthly poetry reading will feature Jane Kohut-Bartels on Tuesday March 4 at Savage Pizza at the corner of Laredo and N. Clarendon. The evening begins at 7 p.m. with an open reading during  which anyone may read from original works or another favorite poet. Ms. Kohut- Bartels will read at 8 p.m.

Thank you, Friend Julia Ewen.

Alluring Moon 

 

The moon sits moored

In a midnight sea.

Clouds sweep her face

Shading a pale, wavering beacon.

 

She tugs at her moorings

And floats

Across upended bowl of Heaven

Into the harbor of dawn.
