Thank you to everyone who showed up to listen in and support ‘The Poetry Ritual,’ a Zoom celebration of three years of The Poetry Critique Meet-Up, which has been running for three years now.
The Poetry Critique Meet-up is sponsored by the Northampton Center for the Arts and Straw Dog Writers Guild.
Nineteen stellar poets who have attended at least one of the meet-ups, read for 5 minutes each in this third anniversary gala event.
I was the emcee. Thanks to Dave Ferland for suggesting we hold this event and for taking care of the technical side of things.
Here is the video recording from the event. Enjoy.
