So, I'm finalizing my proposal for a year's worth of poetry activities, and I'd love to hear from you what kinds of poetry activities, programs, readings, panels, workshops, etc Redmond needs. What do you feel we have covered already, and what are we missing?
I'd love to get your feedback on some of my ideas, including:
--Poetry readings with featured artist exhibits and salons
--Geek Talks - Poetry panels with local poets about subjects that might be familiar to Redmond-ites - math, science, computer code, comic books, etc...
--Redmond Reads Poetry - a Community Reading Series that would pick one book per quarter to read together. The Redmond library will provide some copies of the book to check out, and Soul Food Books will carry the quarterly book choice as well. (Open Books in Wallingford is a great choice for poetry book shopping outside Redmond...) The library will also host one reading and Q&A by the author of the chosen book.
--Panels on Cross-Cultural Poetry
--Teen workshops, Outreach events in Seattle to let people know about Redmond poetry programs...
What do you think? Let me know in the comments..
