Attention Poets & Poetry Lovers! Open Mic in Gillette on March 14
Attention WyoPoets!
You’ve had your work accepted into the 2020 chapbook, you’ve done well in the Shea contest, you’ve placed in a Members Only contest, or you love to write poetry — it’s time to shine and share!
Come to the WyoPoets Open Mic event, 3PM, Saturday, March
14, 2020, Campbell County Public Library, Gillette. There you can sharpen your poetry reading skills before a live audience prior to the Workshop Reception, be recognized, meet other poets, enjoy a few cookies, have fun, and even sell a few
books. The public is invited to attend and read either their work or the work of others they enjoy.
Members of Prairie Pens, Gillette’s writing group, will be on hand at 2:30 to set up and greet, so come early to be ready to go at 3.
The library is making an exception for this event so WyoPoets
may sell books. They do suggest those members donate 10% of their profits back to the Library Foundation.
Please copy and distribute/post the flier and encourage others to attend. Keep in mind that Senior Centers and the faith community are often overlooked for reading/writing events.
For more information, or to reserve a sales table, contact the
workshop coordinator at don.oakley2009@yahoo.com.

Our mission is to provide a base for mutual help and inspiration by encouraging interest in poetry throughout the state of Wyoming. This can be achieved by writing, publishing, studying, and sharing poetry in its many forms.
