Folger celebrates Poet Lore’s 120th Posted by Caitlin on January 8, 2010
From Executive Editor Jody Bolz to all locals!
Happy icy, windy 2010! Hope you’ll bundle up and join us at the Folger Shakespeare Library at 7:30 pm on Monday, January 11th, for a celebratory reading in honor of Poet Lore’s 120th anniversary and Beltway Poetry Quarterly’s 10th.
Kim Addonizio, whom Poet Lore first published 25 years ago, will read with Washington poet Kyle Dargan. After the reading, Jon West-Bey, director of the American Poetry Museum, will moderate a conversation with those of us who edit the journals being honored. Poet Lore’s special 120th anniversary issue will be on sale at the reception afterwards, along with a new anthology by Beltway (Cash and check requested for payment).
Tickets available at www.folger.edu or (probably) at the door. Call (202) 544-7077 for more information.
Hope to see you there!
