It’s been such a busy week! On Thursday, May 28th, I was one of the named headliners (along with my friends Janet Tyner, Carol Thompson, and Ilenya Marrin) for the Winnsboro Spoken Word Open Mic Night for the Winnsboro Center of the Arts. We drove the hour over to Winnsboro once again and had a grand old time with MC Mike Guinn, JDarrell Kirkley, and others.
(Then I went to my niece’s wedding on Friday, which should have a post of its own.)
On Saturday, Janet, Carol, and I got up super early, drove to Grapevine, Texas and performed for the Quicksilver Poetry Festival’s Open Mic as well. I don’t have any photos from that yet, but I will share them once I get copies. We had a fabulous time there as well. We got to visit with all our Ft. Worth Poetry Society comrades, hear some wonderful speakers (including the Arkansas Poet Laureate), listen to other wonderful poets, and see Shakespeare Dallas perform for us.
While I’m sad it took me so long to get into there, I really love our Texas poetry community now that I know where to find them. 🙂
