FW from Amy King: Seeking Poets for Reading--Need Organizers

World Ocean Day is coming up on June 8th. Heidi Lynn Staples
and I are putting out feelers for poets who might be willing to
organize a last-minute reading on their shores as part of a Poets for
Living Waters Action. We're asking poets to serve as Poets for
Living Waters Activists--organizing and publicizing the reading in their
community. If you could also document via photos, video or audio - any or
all, that would be especially welcome.
 
Ideally the event would take place by a body of
water--stream, river, pond, lake, or sea. The poems read by the featured poets
would be either from the Poets for Living Waters site ( http://poetsgulfcoast.wordpress.com ), well known published relevant works (say E.
Bishop or something), or relevant works by professional published writers. The PLW
Activist (you) would be welcome to read.  An open mike opportunity would conclude the event.
 
If interested, please backchannel at

Best,
Amy

p.s.  Today's poems are by FRANZ WRIGHT, EVIE SHOCKLEY, KATE SCHAPIRA and BILL MARSH
