Why hi,
We are back for season 45 (--45!), officially re-perched below the steeple at St. Mark’s & ready to go. The first brought-to-you-by-The-Poetry-Project-event will happen Wednesday September 22 (look below), but until then The Poetry Project will be participating in two events -- one sponsored by St. Mark’s Church (Sept 12) & the other by the HOWL! Festival (Sept 16). Details for those events are also listed below, or you can look at them on our Project Blog too http://poetryproject.org/project-blog. Seeing you soon!
Love,
The Poetry Project
