Chapbook Festival

Come to the chapbook festival! I'll either be wearing a soup kettle on my head, or a lovely service representative's shop floor apron. In any case, I will be calm and professional to the point of impersonality, though my heart will be bursting from its ribcage in the hopes you will want to hang out with me.

Bring poems! The kind that really work! Get published in a rare limited edition!

Here's how: I'll read your poem aloud for you, which will constitute an edition of your work. Or do I mean audition?? Hmm. Poetry is often confusing. But I really need to beef up my authors list.

ANNUAL CHAPBOOK FESTIVAL
