Friends of Austin Poetry,
UPCOMING AUSTIN POETRY EVENTS
April 19, Saturday. 1:15 p.m. Attend the regular monthly meeting of the Austin
Poetry Society, Howson Branch Library, 2500 Exposition Boulevard. Come join a
brainstorm on what APS can do for poetry and poets in the coming
year, and vote on the new officers. http://www.austinpoetrysociety.org.
April 24, APS FOURTH THURSDAY OPEN MIC, 7:00-9:00 p.m. During this session, we
celebrate the life of the Poet Laureate of Hyde Park, Albert Huffstickler. We
encourage those of you who knew Huff to bring poems about him. Also featured
this month will be YOUNG AND NEW APS members. If you fit the description, come
to NeWorlDeli, 4101 Guadalupe, bearing poems to read. Or just come to hear the
growing edge. The open mic (for everyone, not just members) begins after the
featured readers, and the evening concludes with our farewell to Huff.
April 25 and 26, Friday and Saturday. Forrest Fest, two days of poetry events
in a park in Lamesa, Texas, on the south plains. Get out of Austin and relax.
