September Poetry Reading Moved To October Seventh

AN EDGAR ALLAN POE POETRY READING?

The September Reading will be held on Sunday October 7th because the cafe is getting their parking lot paved on our usual meeting day. Noisy work trucks and the smell of black tar do not make a good atmosphere for poetry. So we will do two readings in October. Chris Bodor will host.

As it turns out, poet Edgar Allan Poe died on October 7th, so it is safe to say that it would be fitting to honor him in some way. Feel free to share your favorite Edgar Allan poem.

Poets and fans of poetry will gather at The Gallery Cafe of St. Augustine, Florida located 1974 US1 South (in the Staples Plaza) from 3 to 5 pm on Sunday October 7. The theme for this reading will be "Birth, School, Work, Death".

Here is a playlist of sounds inspired by the theme of this reading.




A sign-up sheet will be available 15 minutes before start time for all those who would like to read original poems or something from a favorite poet. The Ancient City Poets usually gather on the last Sunday of every month. This series is free and open to all. Books by local poets will be available for purchase as well as free coffee and snacks. For more information call the Gallery Cafe at (904) 825-9944
