What a great site! I look forward to lots of action here and see this as a way to keep folks informed and connected with other local writers. To begin, make a note to yourselves to check out the lively poetry reading at Forza Coffee House at 104th and Federal, Third Thursdays at 7:00. This month's feature is Rand Hunsbury (SP?) and will, as always, include an open mike portion. Cost: a cup of Forza's great coffee.

Dear Karen, WELCOME! Very excited to have you join the group. Thank you for the information on the poetry reading; looks like that is this Thursday. I am not sure if I can make this one but I am going to try! I love coffee and poetry. I have written many poems.
