Plans for our monthly Poets Nite and After-School Arts Program are proceeding apace.
We're still waiting for a definitive opening date for our preferred venue, The Greenwich Odeum on Main Street in East Greenwich, RI. Pending that opening, we are proceeding with plans to debut Poets Nite in September.
Our Plan B is the East Greenwich Armory, ironically located just across the street from the Odeum.
We're also looking forward to including the founders and members of the Origami Poems project, also based in East Greenwich. They have been actively promoting poetry for the past three years.
Check them out at www.origamipoems.com.
Rhode Island Poet Laureate Emeritus Tom Chandler is expected to help us kick-off this new poetry event.

This is truly an amazing moments for writers and poets of genre! I am very excited that there is a place, a home to explore poetry and all its glory... Poetry is a long time passion of history itself, thus; it's history itself speaks valumes of its purpose in everyday life...and I say Bravo! Let us embrace the grand opening of something brilliant..
