October’s Open Poetry Reading this Saturday 10/17 at 10:30am Pacific

A dark night at the docks, ships in the harbor, monochromatic city in the distance. A painting in oil.
The Harbor of Genoa (1927) by Max Beckmann.

Open Mike Saturday 10/17 at 10:30am on Google Meet

Please join me for an open mike poetry reading every third Saturday at 10:30am Pacific on Google Meet at this link. Feel free to jump on a little early if you’d like to chat with other poets.

Hope to see you every Third Saturday!
Ben.

If you have known or appreciated the work of our Poet Laureate Emeritus Marguerite Costigan, you have the opportunity to let her know. Her Parkinsons has reached stage 4 and she needed a higher level of care and has moved to care facility. This is, of course a hard transition and it would cheer her to receive notes, poems, photos or artwork, or if you know her, visits if you are able.

Send to: Marguerite Costigan, 1135 Oceannaire Drive, San Luis Obispo, CA 93405
