10/17/2020 0 Comments Poetry Foundation and CANO ReadingsOn Thursday I had the honor of reading three poems at the first on-line reading of the Forms and Features Poetry Foundation Workshop. There were almost 40 people watching and they were from all over the world, Germany, US, Dominique. And afterwards I found out that family and friends were watching too. It was a great success and I learned things too. Right after reading, I joined our local CANO out of Oneonta for another reading. My friends Liz, Lynne, Vicki and I read--I was so impressed with the quality of work there too. After we read, we listened to Anne Lichtenstein, of Oneonta, read from her book. She encouraged us to close our eyes as we listened, to hear the novel like one would hear poetry. We also learned that she was just nominated for a Pulitzer Prize--impressive. Both events showed me that there is not place like home after all. We have support and talent right here in our own backyard.
