Another Issue! Yes!
We have some neat things coming up.
We want to include audio poetry readings, so if anyone has an
info on what programs are best and how to go about all of this,
it will be greatly appreciated.
This issue is jam packed as usual. This month the global
correspondents are Helen Bar-lev , Gillena Cox. and Jeff Spahr-Summers
, I love these sections. The correspondents rotate in some
instances, as we do have fifteen.
We have a Tribute to the Anniversary of Cid Corman's death.
The original one plus some new poetry and remembrances. . .
From the OutlawPoetsII/SketchbookII we have a very nice section
honouring A. D. Winans, A Retrospective View; he is a terrific
poet and a good friend to the Sketchbook.
We have more new books at the Book Fair. That is going to be our
focus in May . We are going to look at how we can promote our
poets more effectively. Suggestions are welcome.
Also the Sketchbook Cafe should be ready by the
end of April. I think you will like that; it will also be fun.
The Spring Thread we have been writing at the OutlawPoets
will continue on through April. I think we have almost a hundred
poems now. I do not want to rush through them all and that
is what would happen if I were to try to read them all now. :)
I am pleased with both Sketchbook and
SketchbookII and all the wonderful poets. It just gets
better and better.
We will work to develop 'the little black book " and also the
Sketchbook Children's Section in the next few issues.
Anyone wanting to be a Global Correspondent let me know.
Anyone also wanting to participate in the Children's Sketchbook
also let me know. Creative articles, I would like a good book
reviewer to join the Sketchbook Team. :)
I am interested in
pursuing information for the Blind Associations. On a Globel
Level.
Here is the link for the AFB: American Foundation for the Blind
http://www.afb.org/
I would like to
encourage our Global Correspondents as well as writers in all
countries to help me in the pursuit of Audio Poetry and what we
can do to help.
As some know, I have severe glaucoma and I am slowly losing my
vision; it is controlled at the present but goes in bouts of
erratic behavior.
Who knows I may need all your poems in audio someday ! :)
Thank you; I think
you all are fantastic !!!!
Hugs, Karina
