[New-Poetry] 'Can poetry matter?' international style...

[barry seiler]

Hi--

I joined the list recently and have been hiding in the bushes, peeping 
through the window. Just wanted to let you know that the Dodge Poetry 
Festival is once every two years. The turnout is quite wonderful. There is a 
tent where books are sold, and it is often jammed.  The good will is 
generally a little much for me to handle after a day or two, but it is real. 
Next one is this September.

Hi all,
Barry Seiler
