Updated: Jan. 8th Reading at DiVerse Gaithersburg

NOTE: This will be re-scheduled at a later date.

I am thrilled to be reading at the January 8th DiVerse Gaithersburg Poetry Reading along with the great Teri Ellen Cross Davis, hosted by Kristin Kowalski Ferragut. This will be the first in-person DiVerse reading since the series shut down because of the pandemic and Kristin’s first time as host and my first time not hosting, quite the number of turning points to celebrate! The reading will be from 1:30-3:00 pm at the Quince Orchard Library (15831 Quince Orchard Rd./Gaithersburg 20878) and will be followed by an Open Mic. Please note the switch from Sunday to Saturday and the time change from the old schedule. Feel free to bring a poem that you have written to share (one page maximum).

DiVerse Gaithersburg Poetry Reading and Open Mic

After the wonderful success of the readings that I hosted at The Gallery at Chesapeake Framing in June and September, I am thrilled to announce that starting in January, 2018, I will be hosting the monthly DiVerse Gaithersburg Poetry Reading and Open Mic, which will be held at the Gaithersburg Library on the second Sunday of every month, from 2-4 pm.  In addition to featured poets, there will be an Open Mic and a Q&A.  My goal in doing this is to make poetry an ongoing, integral part of the literary scene in Gaithersburg.

I am indebted to Serena Agusto-Cox (one of the poets at the June reading) for coming up with the phenomenal name for the reading and also to librarian Laura Sarantis for helping to get everything up and running with the Library.

And I am very excited about the poets who will be reading this winter:

  • Luther Jett, Sunil Freeman, and Kim Roberts on January 14th.
  • Sarah Browning, Alan King, and Joanna Howard on February 11th.
  • Michele Wolf, Teri Cross Davis, and Jennifer Wallace on March 11th.
