Hello poetry aficionados!
Starbucks is remodeling so we will not have a gathering in February, however,
Don Major will be reading from his new book, Drive Time, in March. Some of you
may remember Don's 2007 reading, the poems did in fact continue to grow and
Scott Douglas of Main Street Rag has recently published the book!
Bravo Don................. !
