National Poetry Month - St. Augustine Florida Events

If you walk or drive past the Art Advocate (76-B San Marco Avenue, St. Augustine), you will notice a series of poems in the windows. Two of the poems are by Chris Bodor: “Love Poem” and “Courtney’s Smile”. The display has been put together by the Ancient City Poets who are celebrating National Poetry Month with a number of unique events this month. There will be an Open House / Open Microphone Event at the Art Advocate on April 18 from 1:00 P.M. to 3:00 P.M. If you want to read your poem, contact Chris Bodor @ www.bodor.org. A community poetry jam will be held on April 25 from 3:30-5p.m. at the Visitors Information Center. Bring a poem to share.

CALL FOR WORK - on the subject of "Work"

Do you know any poets or graphic artists who have worked in the civilian sector or a government occupation at one time in their life? This anthology will attempt to tell the story of what it means to have to work for a living - from the perspective of Northern Florida artists, as well as creative folks from the United States, Hungary, England, and beyond. Send a poem, essay, of image that was created while you were "on the clock/ on the job". Or send something what speaks about a memorable work experience. Searching for a variety of voices. Sing song rhyme. Psychobabble. Vindictive curse versing.

Submission Guidelines: WORDS should be saved in "Microsoft Word" and emailed to poetplantpress at yahoo dot com. IMAGES must be black ink line art and scanned at 300 DPI. A special myspace.com page profile has been created for this project.
