[New-Poetry] NewPoetry List is 7

[James Cervantes]

Happy 7th!

My contributions are scant and I appreciate the participation of all
those named below (cept me, of course).

A la poetics list, below is notice of an upcoming event that might be
of interest to anyone frequenting this area around then:

Copper Star Coffee poetry series
3rd Wednesday of the month at 4220 North 7th Avenue, Phoenix from 7 to 9 pm

February 20th
Jed Allen

Jed Allen was born on the road between Heaven and Hell and walks there still.
His writing has appeared in numerous journals and in Fever Dreams:
contemporary Arizona poets (U. of Arizona, 1997).  He has raised
goats, worked as a janitor, cut and sold firewood door-to-door, made
adobes, and is an improvisatory pianist  who worked for a decade in
the Phoenix blues scene.  He teaches general writing classes at
Phoenix College.  He has written across his back: Somos todos
ilegales.

James Cervantes

James Cervantes' fourth book of poetry, Temporary Meaning, was
nominated for a Los Angeles Times book award in poetry in 2007. His
poems have appeared most recently in Laurel Review, The Boston Review,
North American Review and Merge.  Cervantes, also editor of The Salt
River Review, now divides his time between Arizona and San Miguel de
Allende.
