Vrooming into a new Poet's Night Tradition


We're celebrating Vroom and starting a new Wednesday Night Tradition at Kath's. This Wednesday we'll show off ModernVerse co-author Michael Dunn's new book "Beyond Door's Threshold Light". See his new feature on Ephemeral Poetry You can see he's virtually present in the photo on the left, we've wishfully included him at one of our poet's night gatherings. On the right is artist, harpsichord builder, and collector of antique hurdy gurdy's Curtis Berak entertaining poets Don Campbell and Peggy Castro with his wonderful playing. Above you'll see Rick, Kath, and co-author Laurie Blume together at our Vroom reading in Chicago. See our visit with Laurie in Chicago and her reading her poem published in Vroom there last year. Our new traditional Wednesday meetings will follow Don's Wednesday afternoon poetry critique 4 tp 5:30 pm at Allure cafe on the corner of Sierra Madre Blvd and Colorado Blvd in Pasadena. We'll have 6:30 p.m. dinner snacks, poetry, conversation and entertainment at Kath's. Each evening will feature a musical or artistic contribution. This week Rick Wilson, collector and player of historical flutes will present a short flute demonstration and recital focused on the nineteenth century "pathetic air on Roselin Castle" by Charles Nicholson, along with other poetic and artistic references. We'll also have copies of Don's new chapbook "A Poet's Allusions" on hand. This one with a beautiful cover print by Alexei Jawlensky, "Solitude".
