The 5th Annual Verse ~ Converse Poetry Festival: May 31 – June 2, 2012

Thank You!

to all of you who made this festival the fabulous success that it was. We are busy puting together photos and videos of the event, as well as planning (already!) for VC ’13 (May 30 – June 1).  Until then, look at our FB page for some cool pix.

Update 6/11: We need more pix and video — especially of the youth team championship. Please send as emails to behrstock@aol.com. Many Thanx!

PATRICIA SMITH
Conversing in Verse — June 2nd

@ the Harwood

“[Smith’s] imagination burns us alive with big talk, bop talk, scat talk, sex talk, street talk . . . When a voice like Patricia Smith’s tells the story, the voice transcends the individual pain and helps to nourish us all. [Her] poems are blessings that will move like white light through your veins.”

—American Book Review
